Cooper Carry's work on the Macy's store at the Mall at Millennia in Orlando, Fla. was one major exception. The judges felt the 275,000-square-foot box was a far departure from Federated Department Stores' bland vanilla prototype and set a good example for mall anchor stores moving forward. Other trends the judges noticed include a preponderance of red hues, Moorish design influences and metallic mesh curtains as seen at Lladró in Barcelona and Montage in Boston. Another trend was a willingness to push the envelope innovating retail centers outside of the United States.
This year's Grand SADI winner, our judges' runaway favorite, is Daniel P. Coffey & Associates for its transformation of Chicago's Medinah Temple into a Bloomingdale's Home & Furniture store. The project exemplifies all the qualities that SADI recognizes and admires: a remarkable renovation, the creation of a unique shopping environment, the enhancement of a national retailer's brand, and a creative solution to a seemingly impossible problem.
