 The design theme
features warm and friendly, tactile materials, colors, and patterns in
a modern setting. The exterior facade is detailed in creamy-colored,
textured stucco, with a soft beige, ground face masonry wainscot around
the building's perimeter. Bronze-red stucco entry walls and warm gray
painted steel columns support a thin, horizontal, slab-like canopy that
provides cover and identity to the mall's entry. Strategically located
lighting washes across the building's architecture while providing
illuminated walkways to and from the building.
In the mall's interior, sleek skylights, ceilings and floor designs provide the guest with a timeless environment. Warm gray-green and off-white natural stone floors in a honed finish are combined with cove lighting and skylight-illuminated surfaces. Warm, finished wood architectural details blend with soft and hard seating surfaces that are user-friendly. The Grand Court fountain adds an element of kinetic but quiet activity. A major design element of the mall is
the expansive glass pavilion structure providing entry to the
CafŽs at Robinson food court, which showcases ten restaurants and
seating for 600 diners. Six imaginative and colorful graphic vertical
banners greet arriving shoppers to the food court.
