Seed of South Center (2015)
South Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial, Retail, Plaza

The Seed, or Seed of South Center, is an elevated shopping center in South Macon Georgia. For those of you native to this area, it's where South Plaza currently is, you know, where Roses Discount is located. The shopping center is more advanced compared to the ones currently in the area. I wanted to design something abnormal and foreign to the area, I know, because I spent my early childhood in the district. In Atlanta, I've seen weird to weird shopping centers, and I wanted to take a souvenir back to town. The building, with the orange material coded on it, is the main entrance. Inside is the stairs (or escalator) and elevator that takes you to the shopping center. The shopping center is barely accessible from the outside, except via the major anchor and minor anchors on the opposite end. About the natural aspect of this, I placed tree's also inside the shopping center. I still wanted to give it that environmental view. Despite  the fact that it's lifted off ground, it also feels like your on ground level due to the grass and trees being visible. It would be more confusing to leave the parking deck, go up the stairs, and see grass and trees.  
 

The stairs in this picture above take you to the shopping center. The stairs/elevator kiosk are placed twice throughout the shopping center. There is also the escalators near the stairs inside. Notice, I did use an excessive amount of orange.

Sephora is on the minor anchors. It's the only real brand I placed. The major anchor and other minor anchor are just random locations. CCL, the minor anchor next to it, is just made-up. Sephora is also a French-based retail company.

I was hoping to place a book store and coffee joint in the Books & More center. This is also a good view of the roundabout that I placed in the center. You've also seen the cladding. The gold-orange cladding is just the new look for the plaza. To your very right, One of the elevation kiosk, you saw earlier, is visible.

I was careless of the anchor in this project, so I just randomly named the anchor, Anchor Store, the most boring title to call an anchor unless it's just a tenant, almost like calling an abnormal show, Regular Show from Cartoon Network. This is the internal shopping center entrance.

This is a CGI Thea Rendering of the main entrance. I have the parking lot shaded out so it would look like it's closed up. You can see through it, still.

This is just a Birds Eye view of the Shopping Center. The road below is Pio Nono Avenue and intersection to the parking lot currently exist.

These are just the sides of the Shopping Center. The East and the west. You can see the gray material that I have placed in the middle of each side of the mall, just to give it a complex look.

Here is an Availability map. As you can see, this is just a map of where and what's available. Sephora is the only logo on. My goal is focused on just the shopping center, not to place brands. So, I really don't care about what moves in. The anchor might be okay to house the current anchor of the shopping center located in the area, right now, Roses Discount, but it's just there to be there.

Just an ariel glimpse of what the shopping center looks like. It looks the internal part of the shopping center is on the ground, but someone will realize the parking deck is below and they have to go up stairs, elevator, or climb up, just to be in the shopping center.

Seed of South Center is just down the avenue from the Publix and Einsteins Bagel Bros, I designed earlier, to tie the connection, Dairy Queen Building #1 would be located just a few buildings down. Revitalization is what I'm going for.
