Renovation or Expansion of an Existing Project St Antoine, Vevey Extension and Refurbishment Vevey, Switzerland MERIT AWARD Stary Browar - Shopping, Art and Business Centre Poznan, Poland DESIGN AWARD Owner/Development Company: Maus Fréres SA Design Architect: Haskoll Production Architect: Richter et Dahl Rocha Total Retail Space: 24,939 sq. ft. Number of Stores: 50 St Antoine, a successful 30-year-old centre, had a real need to modernize and to enlarge. It has taken this opportunity to modernize its four levels both inside and out. A new, open façade has replaced a dated covered walkway, providing this city centre site with dynamic and attractive transparent frontage opening the visibility of ground and upper levels. Its tired and dated internal environment has been updated with simple and clean horizontal and vertical elements to promote a good shopping atmosphere and easy movement. Its retailing presence has been improved. Storefront heights have been increased, and uncluttered sightlines have reduced the profile of the atrium void. The Manor Department Store, St Antoine’s major anchor, has been joined by new medium-size units such as H&M, Orchestra, and Esprit on each level. A large and popular Manora restaurant draws customers to the upper level with the added attraction of large open air terraces with views of the lake and mountains. The offer is completed by a supermarket and a myriad of services. Tenants have become more inventive in their design displays. Customers are enthusiastic, and, most important, the center’s financial performance has increased by 15%.

Number of Stores: 208 Stary Browar Shopping, Art and Business Centre is located in Poznan, capital of Wielkopolska province in Poland. Its mixed-use scheme opened in Nov. 2003 and was extended in March 2007. The Centre is centrally located near Old Market Square and is easily accessible by public transportation. The owner’s philosophy is that any enterprise must be 50% artistic and 50% business. The former brewery buildings were carefully restored to preserve their original 19th century industrial architecture. Following the extension completed in 2007, the Centre consists of seven buildings totaling 1,236,229 square feet located on 18.2 acres. It is occupied by retail units, offices, professional studios, a concert hall, an art gallery, and a concept hotel. The 208 retail units include stores, clubs, restaurants, cafeterias, and a multiscreen cinema. A partially glass-enclosed Courtyard of Art is a sort of internal piazza hosting restaurants and cafeterias as well as refurbished old brewery buildings converted into spaces for exhibiting art and staging performances. A 10+-acre park is being upgraded and will house an underground museum of contemporary art designed by Tadao Ando. With over 13 million visitors a year, the Centre has become a Poznan landmark, restoring life to a deteriorating area in the very heart of the city.
Renovation or Expansion of an Existing Project Village at Fashion Fair Fresno, California USA MERIT AWARD Westfield Century City Food Court Los Angeles, California USA MERIT AWARD Owner/Management Company: Macerich Company Design Architect: F+A Architects Landscape Architect: Lynn Capouya, Inc. General Contractor: The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company Development/Leasing Company: Macerich Company Total Retail Space: 998,139 sq. ft. Number of Stores: 135 The Village at Fashion Fair is a new open-air expansion of the Macerich Company’s Fresno Fashion Fair, located in California’s rapidly growing San Joaquin Valley. F+A Architects and Macerich completed the redesign and renovation of the original Fresno Fashion Fair, a fully occupied, indoor, 874,000-sqare-foot shopping mall, in November 2003. The Village was specifically created to meet demand for better quality lifestyle retailers and sit-down restaurants. The 94,000-square-foot outdoor Village at Fashion Fair was completed in November 2005. Four new structures line two intersecting pedestrian promenades. The 10,000- square-foot and 12,000–square-foot buildings facing Shaw Avenue house free-standing restaurants with terrace seating on large outdoor patios overlooking the pedestrian areas. Two buildings closest to the mall itself offer a combined 72,000 square feet of multi-tenant space. The main mall entrance was also expanded and enhanced. Architecture of the multi-tenant buildings offers a variety of styles and materials for each tenant to create a “village” of buildings.. Tree-shaded promenades feature seating areas, lawns, and ornamental and interactive fountains. The expansion included realignment of the existing inner ring drive aisle, reworking of the field of parking, relocation of utility lines, reworking of the Mall Service Areas, and reworking of two existing exit stairs. Owner/Management Company: Westfield, LLC Design Architect: Westfield Design, with Corsini Stark Arch., Serrurier Arch., Atlaschi Arch., Young Lee, Akar Studios Production Architect/ Landscape Architect: Rios Clementi Hale Studios Graphic Designer: RTKL Associates Lighting Designer: Frances Krahne & Associates General Contractor: Westfield, LLC Development/Leasing/Finance Company: Westfield, LLC Total Retail Space: 30,000 sq. ft. Number of Stores: 15 The Dining Terrace at Westfield Century City is a sleek and sophisticated food court that turns typical open-seating self-service into a culinary experience. This modern glass, steel, and wood oasis, features a fine dining experience in an expansive setting overlooking the skyline of Century City high-rises. In a bold move to capture the jaded tastes of its Westside Los Angeles-Beverly Hills clientele, the Dining Terrace brings together a diverse mix of neighboring high-rise employees, shopping families and, occasionally, celebrities. The Dining Terrace is an example of how design can enable the visitor to experience a sense of exclusivity and special attention. Westfield is revolutionizing shopping center cuisine by bringing in local restaurateurs to devise a smaller custom concept where the food is prepared as a showpiece right in front of the customer. The seating is still communal, but looks more like a restaurant, with lighting, stylish presentation, andreal china, silverware, and glassware. Traditional restaurant seating has also been inserted along the periphery of the dining terraces. Dining offerings include Lawry’s Carvery, Sorabol Korean BBQ and Asian Noodles, Tacone Flavor Grill, Seiki-Shi Sushi, California Crisp, and Coral Tree Express. Incorporating fine dining and unique fast-casual dining experiences patterned after the highly successful model at Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney, Australia, testifies to Westfield’s ability to leverage best practices across its global portfolio.
