| In this highly competitive category, the three-story, high-end department store stood out with artwork providing an engaging, gallery-like atmosphere for customers in a massive space atypical of traditional department stores. A moving belt carrying merchandise draws attention to the back of the store, interactive technology is at the forefront, and visual elements including a sculpture-like, curved facade and silver trees connect the space. |

| Each floor of this nearly 250,000-sq.-ft. department store introduces “aesthetic moments of nature.” Classic materials including crema marfil marble, silver leaf, and waxed plaster are used to create a high-end, sophisticated feel. The play of matte- and high-gloss finishes also evokes a rich, yet understated environment, with marble, gloss lacquer and glass serving as the “backbones” of the store. A neutral color palette of materials and visual textures becomes a backdrop to vendor space, allowing color in products to pop in each department. |

| This nine-story department store is an example of luxurys done right, with flooring, fixtures, and structures created from a mix of natural and ceramic stones and tile, wood, and chrome. The first floor's polished mink marble floors and black lace slate columns stand out among fixtures of backlit frosted glass, smoked glass, and polished and smoked chrome to create drama in its contemporary space. One floor up, young casual is displayed in a space that is clean and fresh with deco white crushed glass flooring and splashes of color introduced in tinted glass combinations. |
