Beacon Court was styled by fashion designer John Rocha and designed by the Traynor O'Toole partnership. Offices have a high proportion of glazing to maximise natural daylight and overlook internal streets and landscaped courtyards.

The shopping avenue has a glass roof and amenities like a 200-seat restaurant, florist, bank, dry cleaners, cafΘ, hairdresser, medical centre, gym, crΦche and Montessori school.

The six-acre site has space for 1,000 cars and extensive outdoor walkways, landscaping, water features, miniature trees, shrubs and public art pieces.

Design consultant John Rocha has combined traditional building materials like wood, stone, and glass with innovative use of light, water and living plants to enhance the internal and external spaces.
