custom-designed display tables, risers, lamps and 

cushioned chairs enhance the residential aesthetic. 

A central aisle with a focal point at the back 

wall draws customers to the rear of the store, 

where the women’s salon is located. It has a 

lighter, softer and more feminine look, with high-gloss ivory 

lacquer and bronze fixtures. A custom-designed daybed is 

part of the seating mix. A beautiful, mid-century-inspired 

chandelier with shell detailing hangs at the center of the department. 

The fixture adds a jewel quality to the space and 

serves as a focal point from the front entry. 

The cashwrap/accessories area is positioned in the middle 

of the store, framed by bronze metal-grid screens at either 

side of the men’s and women’s salons. A change in the flooring 

material from carpet to terrazzo tile and a raised ceiling 

with coffer detailing further delineates the section. A red 

accent wall with an Asian-inspired frame display helps draw 

the customer’s eye to this area. 

From its simple architecture to its carefully planned layout 

to its residential stylings, Cole Haan is well-thought out 

and beautifully detailed from start to finish. The store pulls off 

the enviable feat of being equally inviting to men and women. 

The design offers a refreshing departure from the still popular 

“white box” school of retailing, without taking the spotlight, 

and the customer’s attention, from the merchandise. ◆

Design: burdi- 

With interior architecture firmly 

planted in the realm of sophisticated 

modernism, Holt 

Renfrew's Toronto flagship is a tribute to the 

high-end retailer's iconic and design-driven 

history. The layout compartmentalizes 

departments while creating exciting sight

Sears Grand 

West Jordan, Utah 

Design: Pavlik Design Team, 

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 

Sears Grand, a new concept from Sears, 

Roebuck and Co., makes its debut in an 

easy-to-shop, contemporary environment. 

The 210,000-sq.-ft. store, which carries a wider 

product assortment than traditional Sears stores, 

was designed from the inside out, allowing the 

business and planning strategy to drive the actual 

shaping of the store. 

The elongated building allows for maximum 

storefront exposure. Three white icon slabs provide 

a clean, modern facade that anchors the allblue-and-glass 

structure. Exterior lighting 

accentuates the architectural details. 

On the interior, three aisle systems are combined 

with a main boulevard that connects the three 

main "worlds" (home fashions, apparel and home 

improvements). Bold, easy-to-read signage and 

lifestyle images enhance the shopping experience. 

An exposed-ceiling structure reinforces the 

casual environment. All of the various elements, 

from the colors, materials and lighting to the 

architecture, graphics and fixtures, are integrated 

to create one unified image that is unique to 

Sears Grand. u

Levenger (Marshall

Chicago 

Located on the first floor of the newly renovated 

Marshall Field's flagship, the highend 

Levenger stationery shop has a refined 

residential feel. Sophisticated finishes of stone, 

metal and glass complement 

the quality and craftsmanship 

of the Levenger brand. Wall 

niches, varying ceiling heights 

and accentuation of the 

columns and other architectural 

elements give a sense of 

scale to the product and overall 

space. Wall-mounted and 

floor-standing pen case displays 

eliminate the traditional 

hierarchy between sales associates 

and customers, allowing 

for side-by-side interaction. u

Alustrous chandelier of hand-blown, clear

grandeur and splendor while showcasing the latest 

trends in cosmetic 

retailing. The space has an 

open feel that encourages 

interaction and experimentation. 

There are no 

behind-the-counter stations 

for staff. Instead, 

both products and beauty 

advisors are free from barriers. 

Lighting is bright

Henry's Marketplace, a division of Wild Oats

"found" materials go a long 

way to creating the sense of 

authenticity. So does the signage, 

based on research of 

early 20th-century roadside 

farmers' markets. The design 

gives star treatment to the 

extensive selection of produce, 

located in the rear to 

help drive shoppers through

Harris Teeter has an urban ambience that

The modern design reflects the city's

to accentuate the signage 

systems and other 

elements that lead customers 

to the product.
