| With a simple and sophisticated collection of color and materials to support the upscale positioning of the brand, this grocer is so clean and visually appealing that it feels more like a high-end department store. Exposed ceilings covered with plastic laminates are punctuated with light features on internally illuminated acrylic. Above the fruit and vegetable display is a polished, stainless steel ceiling tile that defines the circular ceiling with a cylindrical, two-sided super-graphic lightbox. Fixtures feature a mix of plastic laminate, solid surface, powdercoated metal, brushed and polished stainless steel, glass, and composite stone slabs, with surfaces incorporating plastic laminates, ceramic tile, glass, paint, or large-format graphics. |

| This New England market design concept imagines Roche Bros. taking over a historic mill building to provide an indoor market, featuring a shop-in-shop approach to create a distinct “vendor booth” appeal. Brick and stone facing, canvas awnings, and pendant lighting complete the look, combined with tile, vinyl, Corian, Formica, and laminate flooring. Architectural graphic botanicals, recipes, and poems create a personality distinctive to the brand. |

| Emphasizing architecture over decor, the rustic turn-of-the-century look of this “farmer’s market” incorporates vintage barn-style architecture, warm gondola lights, and sand-blasted redwood signage. A weathered matte finish floor evokes the look of worn leather. The “hayloft” features are distressed tongue-in-groove oak; departmental signage and soffits are oak or cedar; and other eye-catching decor is distressed to resemble barn wood, while in service areas white subway tiles are grouted to provide a vintage look. |
