Retail Interior Design | Shoebaloo | Amsterdam | MVSA

Shoebaloo, a designer footwear boutique in the Netherlands, has three shoe shops in Amsterdam and is as popular for its shoes as for its cutting-edge interiors. One of the shops is situated in the ultra chic P.C. Hooftstraat. Despite being only 100 square meters, the shop’s high-end shoe collection speaks in measures, including Gucci, Prada, Fendi and miu miu.
The exterior as well as the interior of the remodelled shop are in many ways contrary to the other shops in the P.C. Hooftstraat. In contrast to the usual open shop window concept there is no clear display window. Both the exterior and the interior are designed to attract and tempt new customers.
The closed dark front of the shop is intended to intrigue passers-by. Behind the dark mirror glass of the display windows only a few shoes are visible, illuminated by spotlights. The entrance door mirrors the street and the passer-by. Suddenly the mirror doors slide open and a high-tech space ship-like interior opens up before him..........more

Retail Interior Design | Shoebaloo | Rotterdam | MVSA

The success of the Amsterdam shop led to a second commission for a new store in Rotterdam. Here the shop window is covered with pale green foil in which holes have been cut. Behind the holes are white leather coffers, each displaying a single shoe, spotlit like a precious jewel. Through the coffers it is possible to catch a glimpse of the interior, a large dark space with mirrors and a reflective floor and ceiling. Along the walls the shoes, boots and handbags are displayed in vacuum-formed plastic display cases. Behind the translucent display wall are colour-changing lights.
The central area and the floor surface are empty except for the cash desk and a few organically shaped benches and display cases. The cash desk is upholstered in black leather and the low benches are made of white polyester with silver leather seats. Lighting installed below the silver base of these objects makes them look as if they are floating........more

Retail Interior Design | Cafe Bustelo | Miami Beach | NC Office

The project is a retail interior located at the 1111 Building on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. The space is defined by two walls which contain the display cases. The walls are inflected to engage the customer from the exterior and to provide an integrated display at the storefront. The kink within the walls increases the display surface area while at the same time making every portion of the store visible to the sales-person. The sales area is defined by stainless steel panels which are perforated in order to reduce the weight of the heavy steel as well as to create a pixilated light pattern........more

Retail Interior Design | Sneakerology | Sydney | New South Wales | Australia | Facet Studio

This is a museum which exhibits sneakers. That, by itself, is not much of a wonder. Although there is really no such field of study as "sneaker-ology", the main point of this shop is to capture "sneakers" in a scholarly fashion. The ability to manufacture products in small quantity of large variations that we have nowadays has enabled the production of sneakers in an endless plethora of design and colour variation that is unimaginable years ago. Taking into account the diversity of people's needs which resulted in the astronomical increase in product variety, rather than the freeform retail styles to date, we felt the necessity to switch to a systematic way of retail.
Currently, sneakers are equally exhibited in boxes. That is to provoke the association of careful storage and display of important historical artefacts in the museum context; this visual image was the origin of our thoughts to enclose and display the individual sneaker in their own boxes. Each box is 200mm x 600mm, and are individually numbered. By interacting with the touch panels located in the middle of the shop floor, it is possible to extract detailed information of the merchandise in front of your bare eyes. The consumer is thus able to experience the philosophy of each maker, thoughts of people involved in the design of the merchandise, and any story in the history of this design, hidden behind each individual shoe; he/she is also able to understand the price and stock situation at the same time......more

Dry Cleaning Laundry | Pristine Conceirge | Princeton | New Jersey | JZA+D

Our clients at Pristine wanted this small space to represent a departure from your conventional dry cleaning experience. Based on this requirement, the JZA+D design inserts a white central feature in the space that unites and separates each of the functional elements of the project. Since this element needed to house reception and a work station, operated by one person; it needed to be small, efficient and provide different levels of transparency to maximize screening of the clothing racks and allow for views out and through the space. In addition, a complimentary curvilinear wall feature completes the functional needs of the space by housing storage areas and a changing room. The final product utilizes a simple palette of sustainable materials in warm wood and earth tones framed within each of these white curvilinear elements, creating a new kind of dry-cleaning experience.

Restaurant Interior Design | Waku Ghin | Marina Bay Sands | JZA+D

As a new dining space this restaurant project called for conceptual design, design development, construction document review and coordination, and partial construction administration. JZA+D collaborated with world famous Chef Tetsuya Wakuda in establishment of the floor plan, finishes, fixtures, and equipment. This project presented a unique challenge as the restaurant space was constricted by other venues within the Marina Bay Sands property. The resulting narrow linkage in the middle of the space called for a creative design solution. JZA+D manipulated the corridor walls against each other and in opposition which resulted in curving forms that transform what was potentially a narrow and unwelcoming corridor into a dynamic centerpiece that ties the whole restaurant together. This "Grand Hall" features multiple openings that frame other spaces paralleling guests' culinary and subsequent discoveries through spatial forms. As part of our interior design services JZA+D also prepared complete furniture, fixture and equipment packages, as well as, designing all lighting, dining chairs, bar chairs, and carpet patterns.
