| Situated as an anchor connecting the Venetian Casino and the Four Seasons Hotel, the DFS Galleria design had to convey its own message. Flooring sparkles in marble, granite, and composite stone tiles with metal inserts. Fixtures are constructed of solid wood and wood veneers, plastic laminates, powder-coated metal, brushed and polished stainless steel, bronze, and glass. The ceiling and lighting create a sense of drama in a luxurious and sophisticated collection of color and materials that supports the upscale positioning of the brand. Visual merchandising enhances the fine art pieces throughout the space. |

| Dramatic elements like the 25-ft. ceiling on the main floor, the unique elliptical sculptural central stair, and the one-of-a-kind Facade on the Strip translate Barney’s New York style into Las Vegas excitement in this 81,000-sq.-ft. store. A warm, residential feel is achieved through the use of limestone and bleached black walnut floors, antique brass and bronze, a variety of woods, and a sun-filled skylight and exterior curtain wall that captures the natural light and channels it into the store. |

| Entry peaks welcome customers to REI by mimicking the nearby mountain, providing an outdoor scale to mannequins and store fixtures and a theatrical backdrop in wood stains and glacial acrylic accents. Creating a store that reflects REI’s sense of community and environmental responsibility, Solatube tubular skylights bring natural light into the store, harnessing enough energy to generate up to 13 percent of the store’s energy consumption. Rubber flooring and bamboo and patterned glass are featured throughout. The space also features a mezzanine-level, glass-enclosed community center. |
