The aesthetic of the Riversands Outlet Park blends contemporary and traditional materials and references the finishes of Victorian industrial architecture.

Located in the Riversands Commercial Park, the Riversands Outlet Park serves as a mixed-use development for smaller and mid-sized businesses. It combines functional space for storage, warehousing or manufacturing, as well as a customer interface and showroom out of which to trade. Reclaimed and aged red brick, sheet metal, translucent sheeting, dark painted steel and timber detail the spacious facilities.

To create a distinct landmark with high visibility along Century Boulevard (the main arterial of the greater Riversands Commercial Park) the two buildings facing the road have double volume capacity and bold, signature, wayfinding graphics.

The three buildings alongside the gatehouse with its tall tower form mirrored L-shapes to extend visibility for tenants to the street frontage and create a cohesive destination entrance into the park.

The steep slope of the site creates a modern, airy split level offering for each of the 13 blocks with a separate entrance on each level. This allows for the spatial separation of operational functionality from client-facing or administrative services.

To enhance a sense of community within the park and facilitate ease of business a central shared services tenant centre and clubhouse provides additional office space and meeting rooms, a gym, restaurant and coffee shop, print and courier services along with a client entertainment and function area. The steep slope of the site creates a modern, airy split level offering for each of the 13 units with a separate entrance on each level.
