WIN Awards 2016 - Retail Interiors Greater Than 200 SQM Category: Lune Croissanterie by Studio Esteta (Australia) The project was completed in October 2015 and involved interior alterations to an existing 400 sq. m warehouse to house the expansion of Lune Croissanterie. The client brief sought a design that enabled fluid and seamless production whilst also creating a celebration of the retailed croissants and pastries. ‘The project is extremely well designed and eye-catching. Located within a 400 sq. m warehouse, it is completely enclosed in glass so that the customer is able to see all the production phases. A clear layout enhances the customer flow. A carefully thought out and executed project.’ HB

It is very sweet and gentle, which is a nice place to be when you are thinking about creating a home, and gives a really fresh concept to flat-packed furniture - something that has been around for a long time.’ CA

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

The framing of the product is a consistent feature which works very well.’ SK

Structured on three selling floors, this space of almost 1,000 sq. m is one of the largest Max Mara stores of Europe.

It has a combination of extremely luxurious material, with bare cement columns to showcase the architecture of the building. The furniture and fittings are well designed and display the product perfectly.’ HB ‘Truly modern and luxurious. The attention to detail and finishes are excellent. A real statement of authority for a brand flagship. The use of outdoor space is well considered and brings softness to the design. Clean, considered with a good dose of modern aspirational living.’ MM

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. Integrated into the China Resources Centre, the mall is the new flagship for China Resources Land’s most high-end retail portfolio. 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
