Kevin Kennon Architects is
delighted and proud to be a member of the dynamic team as the Design Architect
for the milestone Glendale Galleria Renovation project. Our challenge has been
to rethink the 1.5 million Square foot Glendale Galleria to create a new
shopping experience that encompasses the most forward looking concepts in
retail design. We have completely transformed the mall into a vibrant
destination that enhances the world class shops and department stores that have
long been the hallmark of the Galleria.
We have created a front door on
Central Avenue that identifies the new Glendale Galleria brand. One of the most
prominent features is a new black stone runway that ramps through the exterior
to the interior and diffuses into a distinctive pixilated floor pattern that
reverberates throughout the mall. We have selected the finest marble, granite,
stainless steel, and state of the art lighting in this renovation to create a
luxurious new environment. We have opened up sight lines by exposing and
enhancing the sculptural beauty of the ceiling vaults, eliminated most the
brick for a more elegant feel, and created a stronger connection throughout the
mall with escalator reconfiguration- ultimately achieving the goal of giving
the Glendale Galleria customer a new and improved shopping experience.
