Worthington Square


Creative Brief

Provide a hospitality inspired destination grounded in the nostalgic qualities and characteristics of
Worthington Square’s past that have evolved into the modern place. A simplified combination of inviting outdoor street walk spaces for shopping and dinning, and indoor fashionable five star environment
for comfortably escaping into a “retail daycation.” A second home concept, beginning with the
front door carriage house portal transitioning to a great room filled with natural day lighting, inviting seats,
engaging walkways, and unexpected experiences and conversations by the grand fireplace hearth.
Create moments that are distinctive and memorable. Create moments of explorations
and the photo opportunity of a special time. The first steps onto the property are welcoming and reminiscent
of a grand home with a garden court anchored by a fire fountain, ample seating and romantic
lighting. The entries are glowing glass jewels creating transparency into the interior spaces. The entries
are inspired by greenhouse garden architecture that relax the mood and welcomes the patron. The water fountain court is alfresco simplicity, with a splash of ambient sound and reflectance with natural materials and
simple elegance. The Grand Hallways set a natural stage for retail shops that inspires window shopping
and casual circulation. Comfortable seating areas provide perfect people watching and transitional areas.
A Great Room anchors the community spaces with a grand fireplace and hearth for gathering around and watching the big game, or warming the soul with a good friend or catching up on email in a comfortable space.
The Children’s Garden is a parent’s paradise with ample opportunity for the kids to playfully explore an abstracted topiary garden full of adventure, while its comfortable seating area offers a spot for the stroller moms to congregate.
