Store

The SG flagship store at Dhanmills, New Delhi, is the latest by Renesa in retail, a project that builds a space bringing the select elements from Renesa’s portfolio to exhibit the finest pieces of SG’s designs. Quiet luxury makes itself known through the minimal elegant design of the navigational common spaces opening into distinctively designed sections, each identified by the SG collection they display and the design philosophy they showcase. This division of space through visual elements, along with varied scales and the funneled circulation, creates easy navigation even for the first-time user, letting the emotions the to-be bride and groom carry for their special day continue to remain at the center stage.

The Ateliê Colormix is a place of decoration objects. Materials such as natural stones, concrete, porcelain tiles and ceramics are the inspiration for objects with a special design. The architecture and interiors project are focused on different materials and textures, to create a dialogue with the store’s concept. The expositor products areas are in the main room. In the secondary room, located in the posterior area, we can find the administration area as well as the coffee zone. Both constructions are facing to an internal courtyard used for meetings, events, and courses.

There is a group of abandoned granaries in Tangkou Town, Kaiping City, Jiangmen, the famous hometown of overseas Chinese and the location of the World Cultural Heritage Diaolou Group in Guangdong Province. Due to its historical value and unique form, Librairie Avant-grade is located here. The bookstore hopes to revitalize and reuse the abandoned silos, creating a special quality of bookstore space for the first rural bookstore of Librairie Avant-grade in South China region. There are a total of seven buildings to be renovated for the bookstore. In addition of five granaries is to repair them, mainly the roof of the granaries. By using the original technology to repair and rebuild the top of the silo, the problem of leakage on the roof has been solved, and its original appearance has been basically maintained.

A flagship store for Gelato Messina and most likely the only store in Adelaide (for a while). The clients wanted the materials to be robust and long-lasting and the design to be unique and memorable. The fit-out channels the original Messina aesthetic of a bit retro and a bit mid-century. There is a leaning toward the use of terrazzo and tiles, referencing the yellow terrazzo porch of the attached house (and future restaurant) and as materials that connect to the Aus-Italian housing typologies of suburban Australia. 

The Living Forest of Harmony. Inspired by nature and Huawei’s ‘Harmony’ operating system, the geometry of the two-story Huawei Taikoo Li flagship store is based on biophilic forms that seamlessly transition from outside to inside.

Located in the vibrant heart of Myeong-dong, Seoul, the skin1004 flagship store emerges as a distinctive presence in a saturated landscape of skincare boutiques. The essence of this differentiation lies in meticulous, creative space design, serving as the cornerstone for shaping the brand’s unique identity and resonance with the public.  As the pioneer of the first offline flagship store in Myeongdong, skin1004 embraces the profound concept of “untouched nature,” liberating itself from the cliche of nature in green hues. Instead, it introduces a newly crafted landscape, bathed in rich brown and beige tones inspired by the pristine nature of Madagascar, surrounded by rocks, pebbles, and sand. The design aims to offer a distinct experience by blending various landscapes within the urban environment. This intentional contrast with the bustling city outside creates a captivating space, sparking curiosity and providing an intriguing escape for visitors.

The site shape is almost triangular and is located between a main street and a residential area. More than half of the site faces the street. Because of its good location, the client requested a house with a space that could be used as a rental store. It wasn’t easy to protect privacy in the location if the appearance immediately showed a store next to the residence or if a part of the residence was a store.

Several retail shops are listed in Pangyo’s newly opened hotel. The Cheonga Samplowars Shop has been established in one of the several spaces listed. To have characteristics that are different from other retail shops, it was thought that a space with visual artistry and extended functions could reveal a subtle presence to consumers.

OskayStore is a curated space in the historic First Bank Warehouse in Yancheng, Kaohsiung. Drawing inspiration from my perspective growing up in Kaohsiung, I have incorporated the ruggedness of the mountains, the calmness of the sea, and the urban development of the industrial port into our design elements. The aim is to deeply engage with Yancheng Warehouse culture through these visual elements.
