This brand-new retail building is located within a ten-minute walk from our office in Walnut. We were responsible for the architectural design of the entire building and the interior design of one beauty salon. The design process occurred in 2011, and the construction occurred between 2013 and 2015. The complete retail building comprises a Starbucks, a beauty salon, and four additional retail spaces.

To accommodate the circular drive-through for Starbucks within the relatively narrow plaza, we designed the building in an L shape. This not only increased the sense of enclosure in the originally small plaza but also minimized the visibility of the drive-through. The overall architectural style is predominantly light American.
