Ralphs Market of Santa Barbara is the flagship market design for the Ralphs Chain. At this market, underground parking minimizes the view of cars, while creating outdoor space oriented for customer enjoyment.
Arrival to the market is announced by a trellis that connects visitors from the street to a fountain at the entrance of the market. Guest seating is oriented around this Spanish influenced water fountain, which is effective at both minimizing adjacent street noise and creating a relaxing atmosphere for customers to rest after shopping.
