| Floating walls, armoires, and wood screens create moveable, semi-open backdrops for the 67,000-sq.-ft. home fashions retailer’s ever-changing room displays. Stone archways and pearlescent columns define elegant walkways and invite shoppers from one environment to the next, while a dramatic open ceiling with theatrical lighting ensures that settings flow smoothly. A three-story circular building with a dramatic glass entrance shows off the environments within, while inside, the circular rotunda sits beneath “stars” of light. |

| The outdoor retailer brings the outdoors in, channeling sunlight to illuminate and power the store. Natural and reusable materials like bamboo and rubber flooring and wood and aluminum fixtures fill the open and airy space in neutral tones. Combining the store and brand experience, an elevated, 2,000-sq.-ft. community center offering events, presentations, and demonstrations is enclosed in glass to remain visually tied to the store, but allow for acoustic privacy.ÿÿ |
