It is our mission at Westfield to distinguish ourselves through superior performance in retail development and continuous improvement of our portfolio to meet the changing needs of both customers and the retailers we serve. Our commitment to you is to furnish a well-designed, maintained and marketed food service environment capable of maximizing traffic and sales. Westfield will become your partner in upgrading the quality of retailing through better tenant environments.

We are very pleased to become acquainted with retailers striving for these same goals and are ready to meet your needs, facilitate communication and share our expertise with you.

Welcome to Westfield Connecticut Post. Westfield wishes you great success with the completion of your store and looks forward to a mutually profitable relationship.

Westfield Connecticut Post is a regional shopping center located in Milford, Connecticut, an affluent area of coastal Connecticut south of New Haven. The project incorporates a signature food court on the second level of the newly expanded entertainment wing at the project.

At the heart of the entertainment district is a contemporary two-story hall with volumous ceilings creating a dramatic room of light and space. A combination of clerestory windows and linear skylight ribbons penetrate the exposed metal decking and steel trusses providing an abundance of natural light.

Two-story transparent storefronts featuring energized and dramatic interiors face a retro-modern designed food court. Four monumental, yet slender columns establish a formal axis through the hall expressed by a white, undulating ribbon of fiberglass which acts as a spatial organizer and functions as a communal table. The columns penetrate a series of thin suspended metal scrims which funtion as backlit canopies over the food court.

project description

introduction

3

Food courts are comprised of the mall common area as well as the individual tenant spaces. Taken together, the goal is to modify the environment from a fast food hall to a more inviting café environment. Common area seating is configured into intimate groups with a more exciting materials palette and lighting scheme. Tenant designs must complement and reinforce this goal through the following:

• Repetition of defined design components between stores to tegrate each store into the larger whole while maintaining individuality of identity

• Establishment of defined counter configuration and ceiling/wall framework as base layer

• Introduction of non-traditional neutral pier and ceiling elements • Emphasis on the food – both the preparation and the product

This design concept provides a modern, customer-friendly environment and focuses the customer’s attention on the food products.

Tenants are required to re-think store design to achieve this café-oriented atmosphere. This will require development of a Conceptual Design and potential re-imaging of prototypical stores. Conceptual Design will require integration of architectural elements, food merchandising, counter design, graphic design, lighting, materials, and kitchen equipment. While specific requirements and prohibitions are described, some language can be interpreted subjectively. The Tenant Coordinator will determine whether the design meets these requirements and will be working very closely with Tenants and designers to ensure a completely integrated design. Standard, prototypical stores will not be considered unless they are acceptable by Landlord.

design intent

philosophy

4

All tenants in the food court contain the following basic components:

• L-shaped horizontal ceiling and side wall element with prescribed finish material

• Environmental graphics on opposite side wall and back wall

• Neutral piers with projected sign armature

• L-shaped front counter with prescribed material, cove downlighting and textural finish at vertical counter face

Plans, descriptions and details outlining the design and implementation of these elements may be found in the following sections.

architectural elements

5

Food merchandising and presentation will be the most carefully evaluated portion of store design and should be the primary focal point of the store. Food should be presented and displayed in a fresh, appealing and persuasive way. The design of the front counter must be functional while at the same time visually appealing, as it presents the most significant point of contact with the customer. Demonstration cooking is strongly encouraged to create customer interest and anticipation in the cooking process.

The only permitted overhead elements at the lease line are exhaust hoods. Hoods are to be located toward the side of the space opposite the neutral pier element. Hood enclosures are required to be fabricated stainless steel surrounds or framed enclosures with high quality cladding materials, wrapping front and both sides and may project 6” past the leaseline. All materials including stainless to have mitered corners and no exposed fasteners or welds. If enclosed, framing and cladding must be kept to minimum size. Specifications and shop drawings must be submitted to Landlord for approval.

Cash registers, beverage dispensers and other equipment on the serving counter shall not be higher than forty-eight inches (48”) above the finish floor. Cash registers shall be recessed a minimum of six inches (6”) below surrounding counter height.

The counter configuration exhibits an “L” shape, oriented in the opposite direction of the L-shaped ceiling and side wall element, balancing and harmonizing the storefront design. Granite material (specification: Absolute Black) is required on the horizontal countertop surface, front face, and underside, returning to the required light cove. Concealed cove lighting washes down the front face of the counter, highlighting the textural finish of the tenant-specified material. Counter faces shall not project beyond the leaseline; the cove lighting apron is allowed to project 6” past the leaseline, as shown in the drawings.

Accent display and/or merchandising elements may be placed along the front counter line, extending to the floor, and must project two inches past the counter’s projected light cove apron. Elements must be a minimum of thirty percent, a maximum of sixty percent of the width of the Premises and must be located a minimum of two feet from either neutral pier. The display/merchandising unit shall be a maximum height of five feet (5’-0”). Specifications and shop drawings must be submitted to Landlord for approval.

Reference the drawings for additional information.

graphic design

Tenants are required to bring their marketing strategies into the store design though Environmental Graphics.

Much like advertising, Environmental Graphics work to affect the consumer by impressing a mood and lifestyle - communicating a story to consumers and generating product interest.

Environmental Graphics are not limited to photos of food offerings and go beyond displaying advertising campaign materials. Additional graphic elements, symbols and lifestyle photos, along with colorful backgrounds, form a backdrop of the store presentation and combine to convey information in a fresh way. Environmental Graphics tell consumers about products and emphasize food presentation as part of design. Menu boards, signage and lighting are key components of design and must be integrated into the overall graphic program.

pier signs

main signage

Signage is expected to animate and enhance the character of the mall, expressing clearly the retail name, while serving as an expression of the quality of the merchandising within. Graphic design shall be lively, simple and clear.

Signage with a refined character is required. Signage should be oriented to either side of the sales area for visual interest and to allow the placement of the Environmental Graphics and menu boards. Individual, non-illuminated letters fabricated from metal, wood or composite materials are to be affixed directly to the back wall surface. Recessed spotlights should be incorporated into the ceiling design to provide remote illumination.

Letter heights are limited to 12 inches and depths of letters shall not exceed 2 inches.

Tenants are to install secondary signs, affixed to the projected sign element. The lettering or graphic logos shall be surface mounted directly to both inside faces of the sign surface provided. Blade signs are non-illuminated. See Neutral Pier Detail for dimensions and location.

Lighting is a critical component of store image and should be used to enhance mood as well as showcase and highlight food offerings. A combination of indirect ambient lighting, concealed and decorative fixtures work together to accentuate the Environmental Graphics components.

Indirect and concealed light sources should be used at counter and incorporated into architectural elements to bring an extra layer of definition to the design. Pendant fixtures should be grouped in clusters as accents for a particular area, and may not be distributed evenly over the entire counter length. Depending upon the counter configuration, pendants must be suspended above the sneeze guard or counter but in no case can the bottom be higher than eight feet. Remote or concealed types of light fixtures are required to illuminate the main identity signage.

Concealed, projector-type fixtures utilizing interchangeable, “gobo” lenses can be used to create interesting lighting effects or projected environmental graphics.

Approved Light Sources: • Tungsten/Halogen • Quartz • Compact • White High Pressure Sodium (CCT greater than 2500k) • Concealed neon; Cathode.

Approved Fixture Types: • Recessed • Decorative • Low-voltage Strips • Socket Channels

While it is important that materials work in a functional way, they must also convey the overall message of Tenant’s concept and reinforce an inviting, café environment; providing an appropriate level of sophistication of the food court area.

For continuity of design, Tenant must install granite (tile or slab, specification: Absolute Black) for the countertop, front apron face and underside return of the light cove, and side return to neutral pier. The vertical face material shall be tenant-specified and should have significant textural and dimensional qualities. Appropriate materials include rough-hewn natural stone, ribbed or patterned metal and synthetic materials.

The L-shaped ceiling and side wall element shall have a DuraPlex™-painted drywall surface, as detailed in the elevation drawings. The DuraPlex™ color selected by Tenant should be the most dominant color in Tenant’s palette, in order to emphasize the L shape and create a signature, defining component of the space. The proposed color may not match adjacent tenants and tenants are required to propose a color for Landlord’s review during the preliminary design process. Opposite side and back wall materials are also required to have a DuraPlex™-painted drywall surface in a color differentiated from the L-element.

All other materials in visible areas shall be hard-surface, durable and cleanable materials such as stone, tile, wood and metal.

The display/merchandising element at the front counter line must be clad with durable natural stone or metal materials. Ceramic tile is not permitted.

• Plastic laminates• Standard 4” x 4” ceramic tiles

Landlord will be closely monitoring selection and placement of all equipment located in areas visible to the customer. There are no limitations of equipment types allowed but drawings will be reviewed to ensure the full integration of essential equipment into the design. Storage must be accomplished via built-in millwork and items not immediately being used must be completely concealed from customers’ view.

Tenant equipment located on the front counter is to be set back a minimum of six inches (6”) from the front edge. All equipment located at, on or within the front counter shall have prior Landlord approval.

• As compact as possible and recessed into the front counter to improve sight lines• Placement of equipment in kitchen rather than the sales/prep area to greatest extent• Equipment may not be merely placed on the counter; must be integrated into the overall design• Employee-serviced drink dispensers should be streamlined and unobtrusive; mirrored faces required

• Self-serve drink dispensers on the front counter line• Free-standing equipment• Signage for kitchen equipment provided by food purveyors • Exposed storage of food products, paper goods and supplies• Simulated wood grain finishes
