Offices & Stores
The store design objective for the new SABA Flagship store as conceived by Hecker Guthrie was to revitalize the SABA landscape. The resulting aesthetic design reflected the strong heritage of the brand. It also demonstrated the long standing heritage of the brand in its life sized three-dimensional form. Characteristically, the retail design of SABA was broken down into divisions such as men’s, women’s, and denim and accessory divisions. This is in order to create a unique retail experience and each of the rooms has something unique to offer.
The commercial design was re-launched recently and is located on 234 Collins Street, Melbourne. Hecker Guthrie has design a store that reflects what the heart of Australia’s fashion capital is all about. It is the transformation of a brand and design into what others can perceive on first look. The store space was transformed into a more confident, contemporary and stylish design that seeks out the attention of everyone who comes.

Sid Lee Architecture has completed the Red Bull New Amsterdam HQ. The cool office is formerly an old heritage shipbuilding factory, fronting a timeless crane and an old unused Russian submarine. The office design was created and implemented by Jean Pelland – lead design Architect and Senior Partner of Sid Lee Architecture. As the design unveils, the philosophy of Red Bull comes into view hence the division of spaces according to their function and atmosphere.
The divisions suggest that there are two opposing and complementary hemispheres of the human brain – reason and intuition, arts and industry, dark and light and good and evil. Sid Lee Architecture has been commissioned to implement the commercial design that is based on the Red Bull DNA so that the structure will represent them better.

The Illy Café has brought up the Illy Shop as the temporary shop located in Milano. It is specifically situated in Galleria San Carlo around the Duomo. The store design was the resulting structure for the concept of reconfigurable store space which is made distinct by different modulations of a single element. The single element modulated and repeated throughout the retail design is the “cube” which is a 45 by 45 square centimeter base. Architect Caterina Tiazzoldi was the designer and architect for this commercial design.
The designer and architect – Caterina Tiazzoldi was based from Turin and New York who furnished the Illy Shop as a space with nothing but white cubes customized in order to fit coffee tins and espresso machines inside the structures.

Working at Google has gotten bigger and better than we all imagined. Steve Yegge – Google engineer – works at the Google Kirkland, Washington office. The great office design included the three little buildings with three cafeterias and at least six or eight kitchen areas filled with treats. It has the dessert bar designed with the 1950s style which shouldn’t be overlooked in any way.
One of the cafes of the commercial design – the Sudo Café – has the DIY burger bar, pizza bar, sandwich bar, salad bar, fruit bar and other various temptations. The company also has the valet service where the valet parks your car if there is no spot available.
The office interior design of Google is colorful which defies the traditional and classic office design making the entire place feel more enjoyable yet calm and relaxing enough to work at. Perhaps, this element is not a big deal for most but the décor at Google allows more productivity than in typical cube-farm offices. The décor at Google office is even magical more like taking a stroll on FAO Schwartz toy store.

Younes Duret Design have designed the interior of a store for Sergio Rossi in Casablanca, Morocco.
Sergio Rossi and Wallpaper* magazine continue to collaborate on the Men’s Footwear World Tour announcing the opening of the next location in Casablanca.

It is in Milan that the journey began in 2010 – with the launch of Sergio Rossi’s first concept store. Situated in fashionable Brera, the store showcases the entire men’s collection designed by the Creative Director of the brand, Francesco Russo. In 2011 the tour continues.

The Kubrick Bookshop and Café were given its contemporary features and vibrant design by One Plus Partnership. The store design had the grey, self-leveling screed area complete with bright green joinery that functioned as bookshelves, cashier counters and stock storage – in other words a multi-functioning design detail materialized through this retail design.
One Plus Partnership definitely pulled the project off as they developed various design solutions that made this commercial design stand out including the display cabinets that are suspended from the ceiling – extremely unique on its own. One Plus Partnership has design a store that is meant to respond accordingly to the space requirements and both what the clients and customers want. The long, curving stripe of the aforementioned cabinets is a direct response and complementary to the hanging walkways outside. And in addition, it also represents the spirit of connection and interrelation. It is mainly the focal point of the store space design.

Nendo – a Japanese architecture firm and design studio – was designated to do the interior store design of Indulgi, which is the small clothing shop located in Tokyo, Japan’s Nakakyo District. This retail design was made possible by the architects of the firm who reinvented the deep and narrow interior of the store space and transformed it into a simplistic maze.
The commercial design has false and true doors and mirrors that are tilted at various angles in order to shield from one area to another. This is to encourage customers not only to explore the interior space of the amazing store but also to get to know all products that Indulgi has to offer and perhaps get them to make a purchase – which is essential in any store design.
