Originally built in 1964, renovation of Strawberry Village Shopping Center forty-three years later employed the concept of an agricultural village as a theme, incorporating elements of Tuscan plazas and farming communities into the architecture and design of the Marin County venue. Landscaped streets are lined with a variety of fruit-bearing trees, along with colorful shrubs and dramatic plantings that create a pleasant place to shop, socialize, and dine al fresco. Acting as a focal point for the Village Center, a sundial plaza with overhead star lighting evokes the charm of European plazas strung with tiny lights.
