Sundance Center

At first glance, Sundance Center might seem like a fairly straightforward shopping center. But this project for Vandervert Development is a little more complicated than it looks.

With its Albertsons grocery store and a long row of shops, it is a massive structure. Initially, people in the neighborhood were concerned about the size, especially the rear of the building.

After listening to their concerns we adjusted our design so the building's back is articulated and more subdued. These measures de-emphasize the structure's size without actually making it smaller.

On the front of the building color played a big role. We developed a color scheme to differentiate the smaller shops from Albertsons so the grocery store, while maintaining a strong presence, doesn't overwhelm everything else.
