Named after the Philips lighting shop that features prominently on the corner of Sharif and Adli Streets, the L-shaped Philips Passageway suffered from chronic, but typical, encroachment into the public domain by shops and street vendors. CLUSTER’s re-design of the passageway, based on the concept of the ‘Light Oasis’, sought to improve accessibility, safety and lighting in the passageway. 

 

The re-design introduced an entry marquee and film screening feature, offering an opportunity for diverse activities in the passageway mixing retail, food, entertainment and service.
