Topanga’s “flagship” interior renovation offered the opportunity to distinguish a unified identity after many years of sequential expansions and interior rework. Its largeness, combined with its different concourse zones built over the years, allowed for great flexibility when determining the appropriate elements to prioritize for a transformative and cost-effective look. The simple and clean outcome set the stage for better internal definition throughout the mall while allowing new tenant build-outs to contrast against the new minimal shell energetically. The altered aesthetic also provided the outline for the future food hall and theatre expansion.
