PASEO COLORADO
2000 / COMPLETED 2001
The early 1980’s saw the demolition of a small shopping
district consisting of small stores with facades dating from
the turn of the last century. This made way for an enclosed
three block shopping mall along Colorado Boulevard and closed
off the North South axis between the Myron Hunt designed library
and the historic Civic Center. With the mall in decline the
original developer decided to upgrade the property. The architectural
firm of Ehrendrantz, Ekstut, and Kuhn along with our firm Melendrez
and Babalas to ‘take the lid’ off – open the
mall to the sky and incorporate a series of outdoor spaces designed
in the Pasadena Style of Gardens and Plazas. |
