The Grove
D2 was engaged to bring an aging shopping center, full of vacancies, back to life. Named for the outdoor space that unifies two anchor restaurants, the Grove, was an exercise in addition-by-subtraction. Partial demolition at the intersection of an existing L-shaped building comfortably connects to both of its bookend restaurant spaces, becoming the Living Room of project. An eclectic mix of façade treatments creates variety and interest and provides the opportunity for the center’s tenants to each showcase their unique brands.
