The project is the new build-out for a high fashion men's clothing store. The design included the exterior facade design and construction in a new lifestyle center. The exterior goal was to catch the patron's attention from the moment they approach the store. The interior goal was to separate the customer from the street and be immersed in the different display areas within the store. The exterior solution was to project an internally illuminated canopy out into the sidewalk's setback angled to catch patron's site based on the predominate traffic pattern. Inside the store the ceilings, lighting, mirror colors and casework were all designed to vary the experience to set up multiple display areas from high to low, wood to steel, and white to colored. The TV and fashion bar were designed to make shopping an event even without purchasing anything.
