INSPIRATION
The Design of Altar'd State
March 27, 2020
Physical retail isn’t dead. Boring retail is.
Faced with a world of choice in today’s retail market, no customer has to settle for average or simply good enough. When designing stores, we start with a simple goal; make it the most beautiful space possible. The key is to execute a remarkable customer experience where our mission is the message and every detail engages the senses. What does she see, hear and smell?
We provide her, as our guest, a place of respite away from the sameness of other retailers: a sanctuary. Every store is built like a custom home, and no two stores are alike.
Storefronts are designed to engage through artistic inspiration, exceptional seasonal window design and one-of-a-kind architectural elements. Designing by that approach we get stores like ABQ Uptown in Albuquerque -inspired by our work building a church in Peru- to Washington Square in Portland –with a grand exterior façade of stained glass- to Park Meadows in Denver – with a storefront inspired by shimmering Aspen leaves in the Fall.
