Project Description
Nomad Studio, an internationally awarded landscape
architecture and design studio, has accomplished the Garden for the new Gucci
bespoke flagship store in Dallas, TX. Perched within the southwest corner of the
CenterPark, the garden adds 5,000 square feet of communal space for both, patrons
of Gucci’s new store and NorthPark Center.
The garden for Gucci’s new bespoke flagship store at NorthPark Center is a lush
xeriscape that expresses the brand’s commitment to nature through a water-wise
planting palette. Yuccas, Century Plants, and Hesperoaloes are nested within a bed
of Mexican Feather Grass mixed with other drought tolerant ornamental grasses and
perennials.
The Gucci Garden establishes a dialogue with the architectural facade by mirroring
its modularity and proportions onto the ground plane, and at the same time,
disrupting them with an organic, but structured, planting design. The garden also
features two modular cast stone benches within a plane of crushed stone that
responds to the materiality and hues of the storefront. The Gucci Garden is a
multifunctional space designed to incorporate the flexibility of hosting exclusive
events, but also allowing patrons a moment to be inspired by Gucci’s iconic window
displays and the views of the Nasher’s Family Contemporary Art Collection.
