Vancouver Village Façade Improvement Vancouver, Washington
Vancouver Village is a 150,000 square feet shopping center that was built over several phases during the 1980’s. The center is comprised of two retail buildings and several restaurant buildings. Each separate building has its own design. Exterior modifications made to the buildings over the years have been minor. As a result the center lacks a consistent unified appearance and is aesthetically dated.

The concepts focused on emphasizing the two large anchor tenants as focal points while increasing the visual presence of the small tenants.
