IDYLWOOD PLAZA
Pigtown Patio
What happens when you add bright colors, plants, and prioritize pedestrians over cars? Your whole strip mall becomes a destination, not just a walk way from one store to the next. Adding iconic "Strata Structures", bright furniture, pavement art, and greenery turned this drab shopping center into an iconic, and joyful place to eat food and shop.
