Shoe Shop Interior Design | MOSTIP | Shiga | Japan | Eastern Design Office

Shoes are displayed on the big triangle. They are placed as if an invisible man is enjoying a moonwalk. An arrow tip shaped triangle is not floating, rather it is slightly touching on the ground with a tension as if it were to start moving.
One side of the entire wall is covered by a mirror, therefore the space seems enlarged twice, and the number of triangles may increase from two to three or four with the angle one looks into the space. Moreover, the big triangle will change its form into a diamond........more

Bookstore Interior Design | Tanum Karl Johan Bookstore | Oslo | Norway | Jarmund Vigsnæs Arkitekter

Tanum Karl Johan is Oslo's oldest bookstore located on the city's main street. The project is a full renovation, which means completely tearing down the old interior. From having several floor levels, the store reappeared with all functions on one floor with a stronger visual relationship to the street and more rough materials to emphasize the physical appearance of the book.
The traditional green color of Tanum is continued into two shades; a dark green as a calm backdrop and the light green as a signal color. Elements from the Flag Ship Store at Karl Johan will give basis for other stores in the Tanum chain. The furniture is mobile and flexible, shaped to signalize actuality and be able to adapt to various actions and happenings at the store......more

School Interior Design | BSF Sheffield | Newfield and Talbot SEN School | UK | HLM Architects

" The interior design strategy had to meet the needs of both schools. Newfield desired a corporate environment, whilst certain areas within Talbot required a more informal, relaxed and domestic environment.

We achieved this by centering the scheme around a base palette of materials containing neutral tones, carried throughout both schools, enhanced in specific areas with departmental graphics, accent wall colours and floor designs. This forms an identity for departments and aids wayfinding for pupils, visitors and staff. The implementation of colour, imagery and simple lettering/numbering creates a wayfinding system that accounts for all users with a range of abilities......more

Bar Interior Design | OQO | London | Hawkins Brown

OQO was an entirely new concept in mixing Chinese dim sum with New York cocktails. A heady mix of supergraphics and superfood!
Mark Chan came to Jeremy Walker, at Hawkins\Brown, determined to make his dream of a cocktail bar selling dim sum a reality. We helped him find a site on Islington Green and introduced him to SEA Design. Together we developed a graphic identity of giant photographs of brightly-coloured vegetables spelling OQO. This campaign reached out across London, carried in advertisements in Time Out, Wallpaper Magazine, London Underground and bus shelters and brought a smart crowd to the restaurant.
OQO’s interiors were dark and mysterious, focusing on the brightly lit graphics, a shimmering bar and oriental seating..........more

House Interior Design | The Pierre | San Juan Islands | Washington | Olson Kundig Architects

Throughout the house, the rock extrudes into the space, contrasting with the luxurious textures of the furnishings. Interior and exterior fireplace hearths are carved out of existing stone; leveled on top, they are otherwise left raw. The master bathroom’s sink is composed of water cascading through three polished pools in the existing stone. Off the main space, a powder room is fully carved out of the rock. A skytube is through to the top of the rock and topped by glass. A mirror set within the tube serves as a focal point, reflecting natural light into the space and connecting to a forged bronze sink......more

Office Interior Design | IDEO | Chicago | Perkins + Will

This internationally-renowned design firm relocated from their suburban Evanston offices to the West Loop of Chicago. We designed a space well-suited to the collaborative, unscripted, non-linear work style and culture of IDEO. Within this raw, flexible loft space, we built project rooms with operable walls allowing individual teams to modify the space for their specific project needs. A client-facing conferencing floor, ideal for confidential meetings, is on a separate floor. Also incorporated into the space is a rooftop addition and a fully accessible, structurally independent roofdeck that is perfect for outdoor project work and entertaining. IDEO also required wood, metal, electrical and paint shops for mock-ups and models necessary for their project work. In addition to meeting the design challenges of a moveable wall solution and a rooftop addition, this project is on track for LEED CI 2.0 Silver certification.....more

Convention Centre Interior Design | Hanwha 63 Convention Center | Hanwha Hotels and Resorts | Seoul | South Korea | Perkins + Will

A contemporary nature theme updates the convention floors and visually unifies all spaces. Textured stone, wood veneer, abstracted forest patterns and flowers are some of the elements of the materials palette. Spanning two stories in the atrium, pivoting laser-cut metal panels inspired by water drops create a screen to the central escalators from the venues and filter sunlight. An entry canopy made of the same laser cut panel extends from the street into the vestibule, drawing visitors into the building with an ultramodern experience.

Visitors are indulged in luxury with private dining rooms, VIP spaces and restrooms that feature water, sky and star themes and high-quality fixtures. Flexible organizational components separate pre-function spaces to provide privacy for events......more
