Tactile paving on the floor guides visitors with vision impairment.

On the left, there is a dedicated priority entry. The main entrance has automatic sliding glass doors. Separate entry and exit points help with crowd flow.

Access is via either ramps or stairs, both with sturdy handrails. The area shifts from calm to busy as people commute, shop, or dine. Movement is steady throughout the day.

AIRZONE Playing & Bouncing

The AIRZONE playing area is a suspended space within the shopping mall that spans from Level 2 to 6. The environment has strong nets and colourful ball pits. The nets provide support and security for climbing, walking, and bouncing.  

There is a 3D Maze with two layers of netting, requiring crawling to navigate. There is also a floating ball pit that allows for jumping and splashing. Further ahead, a climbing section leads to the top level, reaching six storeys high. The climb is equal to four flights of stairs. The surface is soft and bouncy, adding to the challenge. A large slide offers a fast way down, completing the experience.

Accessibility features include wide net pathways and soft landings. Visitors are likely to engage in playful activities, feeling a mix of excitement and fun.
