In close collaboration with luxury lifestyle clothing company, Tommy Bahama, Architecture Design Collaborative (ADC) transformed a tenant space and pedestrian walkway into a hotspot in the center of Fashion Valley shopping mall. The nature of the space being open to public view created an opportunity to design a full-service Marlin Bar and ample outdoor seating areas. These gathering spaces punctuate the end of a line of storefront retail and activate outdoor areas previously overlooked. Many elements within the existing retail space were simply removed or converted into an open and bright layout lush with décor emblematic of a coastal island lifestyle. Moving beyond traditional retail spaces, ADC and Tommy Bahama integrated a quick service commercial kitchen allowing patrons to combine their shopping and dining experiences at a single location. Patio umbrellas, TV’s, and patio lighting invite patrons to linger and dine within a relaxed environment embodied with the Tommy Bahama shopping brand and experience.
