At the new Restoration Hardware (RH) gallery in Dallas, Tex., visitors can shop for luxury home furnishings, sip wine, or enjoy a meal. Because a rooftop restaurant and a wine bar were added to the shopping destination, ample parking was needed for customers. The new three-story parking structure adjacent to the flagship store relieves congestion in the area. Furthermore, because the project team went to great lengths to mimic the design of the retail store, the parking structure is a welcome addition to the streetscape. RH secured the parcel behind its store for a driveway and valet parking garage. The compound was tightly fit into the urban neighborhood. With the site constrained by an alley on one side and Cole Street on the other, the use of a prefabricated, precast concrete system was the best option. Installation of the precast concrete components in an efficient manner lessened the impact of construction on the store and the community while accommodating the unique footprint and site parameters. |
