RETAIL THE SHOPS AT RIVERSIDE

Hackensack, New Jersey

Master planning + Rebrand.

As a re-imagined property for Simon Property Group, the design was to emphasize the boutique nature of the mall, and its clientele. Critical research into understanding what the modern shopper expects as well as potential offerings not commonly presented at suburban luxury malls were defined in shaping the goals of the design. While maintaining a fully operational mall, construction was phased in 2 parts. Phase I was to create a luxury interior loop of premier shops with a timeless and sophisticated backdrop. Phase II was to address the exterior and offer a grand entry gesture to the arrival sequence. The makeover will include inspiring art, a VIP lounge to rejuvenate, and a concierge service that will attend to guests’ every need including personal shopping, package delivery, and coat check.

RESTAURANT Santa Monica, CA

ABODE

Abode is a small, sophisticated gem tucked away in an intimate courtyard off of Ocean Avenue. The austere, abstract geometries of high-sixties design encase the dining room and lounge-bar. The concept of garden is brought out abstractly by regularizing organic forms into ornate patterns. The color pallet is rich and earthy, and the stone slabs provide a natural source of wildly varied texture.

Tenant Improvement.

At the PalazzoVenetzia Jewelers

The Jewelers of Las Vegas, a premier jewelry boutique showcasing luxury brands, will relocate its current brand store, Venetzia Fine Jewelry. The current location is space #158 at the Luxury Shops at the Palazzo. The new location is space #155, across the hall. The new location will follow the design (materials and detailing) from The Rocks Fine Jewelry shop recently completed at the MGM Grand. The design will offer elegance and high-end luxury. The finishes will be light, warm tones. The floor will include a Thasos white marble laid in a unique pattern accented with a heavy veined marble inlay. Contrasting the light floors, the floor displays will appear as solid blocks of teak stained to match dark hues within the accent floor stone. The walls will use a warm travertine tile in a staggered pattern. Through the space, revealing itself sparingly, is a backlit wood screen, adding a layer of warmth.

Dalian, China

Site Development + Model Rooms

The residential development is located on a beautiful rocky promontory that is among the last available parcels along the Dalian shoreline, southeast of the city center. The project features high-end low density modern style residential development including single family villas, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums; shops and seafood restaurants on the shoreline frontage; a specialty hotel and visitor facilities on the peninsula; and a clubhouse with driving range on the inland area. A central pedestrian spine imparts a poetic recall of a ravine, connecting the lower highway and the retail center with the upper highway and the nearby hilltop pavilion into one continuous pedestrian environment. The site plan reflects the dramatic shoreline geology, and respects existing topography, vegetation, and coastal views.

EXHIBITION Sales Display Pavilion

Dalian, China

Demountable Display Pavilion

In designing a Display Pavilion to showcase the exquisite property being offered by Parkland, the design concept will draw from analogies of the pearl and its shell; The black pearl specifically. The mall lobby location can be viewed as the enclosure of the clam that harnesses the greatest beauty inside. The black pearl (the pavilion ) is the treasure inside that must be acquired.

The key elements driving the form of the pavilion are circulation, accessibility, and visibility. The circulation should allow for continuous flow even through the pavilion to engage the passerby in most unassuming matter. Accessibility by all patrons is a design concern as it should have a look and feel of any other high-end retail outlet ore exhibition gallery. Visibility will be accommodated by providing a modern finish and texture that will enlighten the overall atrium. Within this form will unfold the glorious delights of the Amber Bay Development..

HOSPITALITY Princess Cruise Lines

Santa Clarita, CA.

Pool Deck Redesign

In an effort to reinvent the Pool Deck experience on the Regal Princess cruise line, a master plan analysis was initiated along with dedicated pool area lifestyle studies.

The central pool is the main gathering outdoor space on the ship, kid friendly. Surrounding the reconfigured pool was perimeter lounge seating, a central bar, and three food outlets.

The Retreat Pool was a smaller exclusive adult only pool space. Strategically located with an overlook balcony, bar lounge, and private cabanas. The Sanctuary, located adjacent to the Retreat Pool was conceived as a quiet garden like outdoor space at the forward of the ship. Provided were cabanas with VIP amenities- TV, bar, private massage, and lounge seating for four. The Yacht Club Pool is located at the aft of the ship with a teared balcony layout overlooking a sitting pool. Upper terrace has lounge seating, and a large open deck with chaise lounges. The main deck is anchored with a casually sophisticated bar and more chaise lounge seating.
