WIN Awards 2016 - Retail Interiors Less Than 200 SQM Category: Mouli Concept Store by Guise (Sweden) The brief was to create a new retail concept for the brand Mouli and to design a space effective shop. Guise’s response to the first issue was to build upon the existing values of the street brand Mouli and their interest in fine art. We addressed the concept of street art that lies within the identity of Mouli. Street art being unique in the sense that it emphasizes the place/position of the art as much as what is actually being painted. ‘The Mouli store is treating retail as a gallery; it’s a cool sophisticated space. What I like is the elevation of simple industrial materials into something of elegance and quality, and is following a concept through very thoroughly.’ JT

The mending stations, which are one of the core brand values, and the extensive and simple display, enhance rather than overtake the product.’ CA

WIN Awards 2016 - Retail Interiors Greater Than 200 SQM Category: Aldi Project Fresh by Landini Associates (Australia) Landini Associates was engaged by Aldi to reinvent their store experience and elevate customer perceptions in Australia, from the quality and freshness of the products, to the overall brand image. The scope of works included interior design, graphic design and all in-store communication including tone of voice. ‘Aldi is very much a discount and low cost supermarket, and yet Landini Associates have created a warm shopping experience, with lovely wide aisles and great lighting. All the produce looks very fresh, and feels more Wholefoods than discount, and just very confident and upmarket, anything but discount driven. It would be quite exciting to explore the aisles and do the shopping here rather than do it on the internet!’ CA ‘I like the approach. The use of natural materials (wood) and concrete makes it seem like more of a healthy, premium experience. The use of space makes it feel more luxurious and less 'supermarket'. The graphics and tone of voice really work in differentiating the store from low cost retail. Furthermore, the emphasis on fresh food (fruit and vegetables) contributes to an upgraded experience.’ MM

WIN Awards 2016 - Retail Interiors Greater Than 200 SQM Category: Fangsuo Bookstore by Chu Chu Kang Space Design (China) Chu’s initial proposal was centered around “The Secret Scripture Library”. Scripture libraries have been found around either in or under Buddhist temples for centuries and have an extended meaning of stored wisdom in Mandarin Chinese. The team found significant historical connections to the site, such as links to Daci Temple and one of the most famous monks in Buddhism - Xuan Zang of the Tang dynasty. ‘Fangsuo is designed to be a bookstore, but they have actually called it a cathedral ‘carrying wisdom, culture and attitude’. That’s a high aim, and yet they’ve managed to pull it off. It really does have this exciting feel about it, that makes you want to explore and discover all the different floors. The height of the ceilings gives it such a sense of authority and confidence, yet the images show lots of people browsing. Great lighting, and this wonderful escalator that opens out into this huge space, which would really appeal to children as well as adults. They’ve really cracked it, it’s lovely.’ CA

WIN Awards 2016 - Retail Interiors Greater Than 200 SQM Category: The MixC by Benoy (China) Occupying an area of 450,000 sq. m, Qingdao’s MixC Mall is the largest of its kind in China.

Covering seven levels and three underground levels, the retail-led podium has one of the most extensive programmes for shopping centres in the country; bringing together Retail, Food and Beverage, Entertainment, Education and Culture. ‘It's notoriously difficult to create an experience and atmosphere in a huge shopping centre. What this does is take a concept and follow it through consistently, in large areas, but also down into small scale intimate spaces without overwhelming the retail and makes for a very enjoyable and understandable journey throughout the whole mall.’ JT
