 As community input and outreach continues and a final proposal emerges,
one thing is clear: Little Tokyo is maturing as a dynamic urban
neighborhood and will only continue to improve in coming years.
However, those changes must answer to those most affected by such a
large-scale vision. Ultimately, the proposal which shows sensitivity to
urban context and local demographic needs while delivering
architecturally-inspired concepts and complementary uses will win the
opportunity to make its impression on Downtown.

 Expensive design is not always good design. The Victorian-era Theodore
F. Payne House (which now goes by the name 1409 Sutter Mansion), where
jeweler Simayof has its offices and where the Luxury Marketing Council
was gathered, is a case in point. It was poorly renovated by designers
who have turned its interior into a brassy, glassy extravaganza of the
kind that critics deride in Persian Gulf cities like Dubai, which are
becoming symbols of gaudy urban expansion. Even well-constructed
designs have to meet aesthetic standards, otherwise they wear out their
welcome just as easily as shoddily constructed ones.

 The Whole Foods regional flagship in Pasadena, designed by the KTGY
Group in Santa Monica, is an architectural monument to this idea. Along
with the Ecolution hemp shopping bags for $7.49 and the "Certified
Organic" cotton candy near the checkout aisle, the store has a salsa
bar, a coffee bar, a nut bar, a noodle bar, a tapas bar with 20 wines
by the glass, a soup bar, a pudding bar and a charcuterie. And a
chocolate fountain. There is a sign promising "custom butters," the
first time I have seen that word in the plural.
