This project was a complete interior and exterior renovation performed on a fully operational eight-story mall containing three retail levels and five parking levels. Originally built in 1982, every square inch of public space in the outdated mall was updated and modernized.
On the interior, the existing food court was demolished and reconstructed. The retail space was also demolished and replaced with new high-end spaces. A new rooftop patio space was built on the sixth and eighth floors, offering panoramic views.
On the exterior of the building, the team replaced the façade with curving architectural metal mesh pads, which obscure the parking area from the street. A large skylight was installed in the roof, providing natural daylighting through a continuous ribbon that runs the entire length of the mall. The five-level parking garage was also fully renovated with new integrated technology.
