This proposal for a lifestyle centre in the popular Westlands Shopping Centre was the winning proposal in a limited competition called for by the developer for the adaptive reuse of an iconic building.

Yet to be implemented, The Oasis was named for the inner sanctum created by the design approach. The building was turned inward to create a place of repose and rebirth within the centre of a bustling commercial zone. The entirety is sheathed in a tensile roofing structure that evokes images of the tents pitched by weary travellers as they took refuge in a desert oasis.
