aPLANARCH’s renovation of Diho Square reimagines the plaza’s facade with a refined modern aesthetic while preserving its cultural authenticity. The redesigned exterior introduces clean architectural lines, natural wood accents, and a more cohesive visual identity, creating an inviting and dynamic commercial hub along Bellaire Boulevard.
A key focus of the renovation was enhancing the pedestrian experience. The storefronts now feature improved signage integration, balancing contemporary branding with traditional design elements. The updated facade incorporates wood screening and lattice details, adding warmth and texture while providing shade and depth to the exterior.
Public gathering spaces have been thoughtfully redefined, with expanded seating areas, greenery, and decorative lighting to encourage social interaction and community engagement. The introduction of subtle yet elegant landscaping elements helps soften the urban environment, making Diho Square a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing destination.
By blending modern urban design with cultural influences, aPLANARCH has successfully revitalized Diho Square’s identity, ensuring its legacy as a cornerstone of Houston’s Chinatown while paving the way for its continued growth as a premier retail and dining destination.
