贝尔莫特时尚公园

Biltmore Fashion Park

    Forty-two years ago the Biltmore Fashion Park was built as the outdoor shopping amenity for the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, a famous resort for movie stars and wealth entrepreneurs. Over time the center lost its appeal and retail sales plummeted 25%. It was time for this grand dame to get a face lift in order to compete with the newer shopping malls.

Modernizing was important but so was upholding the historic character of the mall too. New tenant spaces were fit around existing trees and historic brick pavers were salvaged and re-used in the landscape. Outdoor pedestrian corridors were improved with new plantings, decorative pots, architectural canopies, lighting and tenant signage which create a modern shopping environment with historic visual qualities.

42年前，贝尔莫特时尚公园是为亚利桑那州比尔特莫尔酒店(Arizona Biltmore Hotel)修建的户外购物中心，该酒店是著名的电影明星和财富企业家们的度假胜地。随着时间的推移，该中心失去了吸引力，零售销售额暴跌了25%。为了与新的购物中心竞争，是时候让这位“贵妇”去美容了。现代化固然重要，但同时也要维护商场的历史特色。新建的店铺空间与现有的树木相得益彰，以前的砖石铺筑物在景观中被改建再利用。户外步行街得到了完善，新种植、装饰陶罐、建筑檐篷、照明以及店铺标志，创造了具有历史视觉品质的现代购物环境。
