DESIGN INTENT
The following Design Criteria establishes the standards
of quality and design for each Retail Tenant to
encourage compatibility with adjacent Tenants as
well as the overall design philosophy of the project.
The Design Criteria is divided into two main sections
— Design Guidelines and Technical Criteria. The
Design Guidelines cover overall general requirements
for all Tenants, regardless of their type or location.
The Technical Criteria, Architectural & MEP, each
address requirements specific to the different zones
and shop types.
The Design Guidelines are a basic “set of rules” that the
Tenant is required to work with and expand upon. It
is written to encourage freedom of expression for all
Tenants. Through the Criteria, Tenants are encouraged
to create innovative and creative storefronts and
shop interiors through the use of graphics, fixturing,
detailing, dramatic lighting and color. By following
the Criteria, each Tenant can create an inviting and
effective retail establishment compatible with the
overall design concept and image of Westfield malls.

2.0 DESIGN GUIDELINE
Design Intent
The design of each Retail Tenant at the Westfield mall
includes three major components, each subject to
separate guideline requirements. These components
are:
• Storefront
• Store Interiors
• Store Signage and Graphics
The Criteria is written to encourage freedom of
expression and creativity, while establishing a common
point of departure for all Tenants. Each Tenant, its
Architect or Designer, Contractor and Representative
should familiarize themselves with the intent, scope,
requirements and details of the Criteria. National
and Regional Tenants, who have recognizable store
designs, are also expected to review these Criteria and
modify their design prototypes to ensure compatibility
with and compliance to the following Criteria. Any
modifications of or deviations from these Criteria must
be reviewed with the Landlord and will be subject to

Storefront Design
STOREFRONT DESIGN
The environment of the Westfield mall is largely
dependent on the design of Tenant storefronts. The
Tenant and the Tenant design team should familiarize
themselves with the overall image and design of the
Westfield mall to encourage compatibility of their
storefront with the project. Storefronts within the
Westfield mall are intended to display merchandise
in an exciting and innovative promotional manner.
Proper attention should be paid to the design and
detailing of the storefront and display areas within
their Design Control Zone including proportion,
scale, color and detailing so as to be compatible with
the character of the surrounding environment and
district in which they are located. Additionally, careful
attention to detail should extend to all public portions
of the store. Each store will be reviewed individually
for compatibility with the surrounding architectural
context and overall project image. Vertical mullions are
not permitted.

East /West Streets;
The east west streets are areas of warmth, material richness and refinement. A series of gabled ceilings creates a more intimately scaled environment. Dramatic slot
skylights and lighted coffers interrupt the gables and are used to create different lighting effects, add additional visual interest and enhance the intimate scale of this area.
In several locations, extensive wood ceilings with interesting compositions of wood beams are utilized to bring additional warmth and material richness to the space. The
floor is covered in a pattern of limestone pavers designed to evoke a landscape-like setting.
At the court areas, wood is the dominant material and is used extensively in the dramatic ceiling areas and on tilted wood panels at the sidewalls. Around the Macy’s and
Sears courts, these sidewall panels are interspersed with limestone ledge-rock clad columns. The floors in these areas are a beautiful mosaic of different limestone pavers.
