| Inspired by “Holi,” the Indian festival of color, Asian Paints’ Colour Heartbeat features hundreds of suspended lights that form an arch around the entrance. Shoppers are encouraged to select a color from a series of pads, resulting in a pulse of color across the facade to create constant color shifts in the storefront. Interactive features include a series of roomsets showcasing color in a lifestyle context, and a “Screen Test” where customers can see the effect of selected colors in their own homes using their photos and a life-size projection. |

| Creating a fun place within a hotel resort that caters to kids, teens, and adults, Kids World offers fun for all ages within its 2,600-sq.-ft. space. Intelligent planning allowed designers to maximize space, such as game tubes allowing kids to climb into private spaces outfitted with bright-red “chairs” and LCD monitors and a bean-bag filled space that serves as a theater. Materials including wood, stone, vinyl, and laminate are incorporated to fill the space with color, yet keep it modern and different from typical kid-friendly spaces. |
