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.
Nomad Studio guccifies NorthPark’s landscape creating a garden 100% Gucci that captures everyone’s attention.
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.
About Nomad Studio
Nomad Studio, founded in 2009 by William E. Roberts and Laura Santín, is an internationally awarded creative workshop devoted to innovative site-specific projects. Its work explores the interaction between art and landscape and its influence on society and environment.
More than just a name, Nomad is a philosophy of itinerant life and work through which they have taken on relevant projects worldwide for more than a decade. Its work ranges from landscape architecture to ephemeral installations. In recent years they have carried out several ephemeral installations such as Green Varnish and Green Air at the Contemporary Art Museum of Saint Louis, MO and Exculpatio at ECC during the Venice Art Biennale 2022. Gucci Garden is their latest accomplished project, a landscape architecture project per se with a balanced blend between site-specific intervention and plant orchestration.
