The redevelopment of a blighted area just off the freeway puts a small city back on the map with a thriving retail center. Going beyond a traditional food hall, it has become a 37,000 square foot culinary and community experience. Fold up storefront doors allow the space to function inside-out and take advantage of the warm climate. These doors lead to three distinct exterior patios for dining, the largest featuring a custom festoon lighting solution that is a highlight of its own. The design, from parking to patio, provides ample warm lighting to reinforce safety and invite the community into this space that was formerly unfavorable. The perimeter circulation of the building is illuminated with simple post top lighting on wood poles that complement the wood accents on the building. Their placement creates a formal frame of the building’s entry and the light creates a soft gradient on the buildings wood accents and colorful graphic art murals.
