CEBU, Philippine --
Lifescapes International, the landscape architectural firm behind iconic retail
centers such as The Grove in Los Angeles and Pacific City in Huntington Beach,
has completed the landscape design of Robinsons
Galleria, a multimillion dollar, multi-story shopping destination located
within a 380,485 square-meter mixed-use development in Cebu, Philippines.
The design, which features
unique elements such as a bubble wall with LED lighting and a 25-foot flower
guitar (erected for the center’s Grand Opening, and due to its popularity, is
still installed), captures the destination feel of an outdoor oasis, but brings
it entirely indoors.

“Retail owners continue to
seek new ways to deliver immersive experiences that attract repeat visitors,”
says Julie Brinkerhoff-Jacobs,
President of Lifescapes International.
“Our strategy was to deliver an environment that visitors can get ‘lost
in’ and enjoy with friends and family time and time again.”
To achieve this,
Lifescapes created a variety of lush gardens that will flourish year-round on
each level of the center, including the underground parking structure.
In addition, elements such as the
aforementioned bubble wall and multi-purpose screens will create a constant
stream of visual stimulation.
“This approach
strategically differentiates Robinsons Galleria from its competitors, resulting
in an all-encompassing, entertainment-driven destination where guests can shop,
dine, and socialize, all in one enclosed environment,” says Brinkerhoff-Jacobs.
“The challenge with this project was overcoming the high temperatures and humidity in the local market,” she continues. “The project owners were visionary in their desire to transport guests to a paradise destination that is also fully enclosed and air conditioned.”
