The latest high-end RH store (formerly known as Restoration Hardware) location is now open in the Bay Area.
The luxe home furnishings retailer has opened a “gallery” in a multi-level contemporary structure in Palo Alto, California. The new RH Palo Alto, The Gallery at Stanford, features a parchment-cream Venetian plaster exterior with an expanse of glass-and-steel French doors that open onto garden courtyards and terraces surrounded by 100-year-old heritage olive trees.
On the main level, visitors will pass through a 25ft threshold of retractable glass-and-steel doors as they continue into the central hall with soaring 13ft ceilings and natural light emanating from a skylight three floors above. Along the periphery, barrel-vaulted passageways lead to a classical arrangement of rooms integrating the brand’s assortment of furnishings, lighting and décor with antiques and artefacts from around the world.
“RH Palo Alto reflects our commitment to creating architecturally inspiring and immersive spaces that blur the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality. Spaces that activate all our senses and spaces that cannot be replicated online,” said RH Chairman & CEO Gary Friedman. “We are thrilled to be part of the energy and invention that continues to define the Silicon Valley community and we are proud to add this gallery to our hometown portfolio.”
