The exterior facade takes a design cue from the NoKA stainless steel box. The three elements are Glass, Stainless Steel and Black Chrome. The interior is a catalyst for experiencing the chocolate, Pure, Tasteful, Luxurious. The palette is inspired from the cacao tree and the many colors of its pods and flowers. The use of stone and wood evoke the memory of the Matterhorn and of the cacao bean. The texture of the materials celebrate the relationship of the rough fissures of the cacao bean ant the silkiness of the Encore Collection. In this space the chocolate is the focus, This is not a predictable retail solution This is a space to honor the magic of the chocolatier. Design Architect: Shimoda Design Group
The theme of this project is both ‘Manhattan’ as well as high impact design that is unique and distinctive as well as ‘high energy’ to create a sense of street level excitement using large format signage and dynamic graphics of LED type screens. The estimated total square footage for the project is 836,000 GSF and includes the following approximate areas: 77,800 SF Retail, 320 retail rental units or 400,000 leasable SF, and 358,200 SF of structured parking and open space (courtyard). The project is intended to be very upscale New York style and ‘brand-able’ with an underlying theme of ‘Manhattan Place’. It is anticipated that there will be 10-12 different unit types developed in the equivalent of a city block with retail at ground level and parking at ground and second level above retail. This will have a concrete frame structure with three levels of apartments above utilizing stick frame construction. BOKA Powell is the Dallas Design Architect.
