FAO Schwarz store at Pointe Orlando (opened 1997 - closed 2004)“The FAO Schwarz building in Orlando is part of a new, outdoor shopping center. The challenge for the designer was to create a memorable image with the assigned 100 foot long, 17 foot high box of a building. Designer Joanne Newbold’s ingenious solution was to create a toy box out of the building. The entrance is flanked by giant paste-up toys. A 32 foot tall teddy bear, 40 foot tall raggedy Anne, and other popular toys.”Designed by Joanne Newbold Scanned from ‘Designing Entrances for Retail & Restaurant Spaces’ by Nayana Currimbhoy (1999) -- source link
