In 2005, Cyrus Apollo and I teamed up to bring something we thought was under represented in SL. We had long thought of opening a small collection of shops with some of SL's premier merchants. An opportunity presented itsself for a parcel adjacent to the Garrison telehub and we began working on the project.

Before starting the build, I consulted with several shoppers and shop owners to get feedback on what they liked or didn't like in a store structure. Using that input, I built the structure with no roof to aid with easy fly-in and fly-out traffic. To help reduce visual clash and also to reduce texture load, I used just a few textures for the entire project.
