PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES
This one-story, three-building retail project is located in Ontario, California a mini-cocktail’s throw from Ontario International Airport and adjacent to the railroad tracks. The building is dividing into three distinct smaller building elements, the end buildings being constructed as “wedge” elements in a dark grey metal panel system and steel-framed billboard elements for signage. The center building element is more subdued in a smaller scale and a subtle, pale yellow exterior cement plaster.
Two exterior patios are introduced next to the building and contain steel-framed shade structures and glass railing systems to help protect from the often high Ontario winds. Suspended steel canopies mark entries and serve as both shading devices and more opportunities for tenant signage.
