Our proposal envisions an adaptable and retrofitted future for the typical existing “strip mall” transforming it from an outdated retail experience and repetitive architecture relic into a dynamic architectural icon.

The strip development is a widespread remnant of a 20th century car-centric city that is losing value both in real estate as well as local ecology. Our vision focuses on making the strip into a 21st century neighborhood destination that celebrates sustainability while embracing the micro- culture & local identity.

The proposal envisions a place that focuses on food security, inclusivity, community participation and future readiness. A place that is built on these four principles of Grow, Play, Community and Support.
