| This 18,500-sq.-ft. store blends into its neighborhood with a brick exterior, expansive glazing to maximize visibility and daylight, and a visually and physically accessible second floor with exterior sightlines. A curved staircase is visible within a glass corner piece and adds natural light to help customers orientate to the space. Maple, beech, metal, and plastic laminate come together to keep the store bright and airy. Illuminated shelves are cantilevered along the back wall while metal-fabricated “floating shelves” and translucent acrylic shelves allow light to transmit up and down. The retailer’s backlit central tasting bar encourages customers to explore products. |
