“Project
journey”
The project involved planning, coordinating, and managing the build-out of the store’s two floors with a grand staircase and nearly 300ft of frontage—including a 182-ft exterior storefront. The grand staircase features a spectacular 257 sqf, 191 screen videowall.
“Ga approach”
With no prior full assortment VS stores in the country, we assembled a team of international and local resources to deliver a code-exceeding flagship. It was vital for Victoria's Secret to meet their branded ceiling heights even though the ceiling space was most constrained. Designing the MEP services in 3D allowed us to achieve all the brand goals.
Attention to details:
With the store featuring entrance doors at 3 different levels we provided seemless accesibility combining a lift, a flagship grand staircase, and a set of stone stairs that converted to a lifting platform for wheelchair user clients through a hidden hydraulic system
“What a store to start our
Sweden journey!”
Chapter 03
“Conclusion”
The primary hurdle part of setting up this inaugural flagship store, the first of its kind in the country and smack on the busiest street in Sweden, was probably dealing with all the local rules and regulations in the short time the client wanted. The landlord didn't think it could be done, but by teaming up with local experts and officials right from the start, we managed to speed up the approval process. We tackled this bit before diving into the nitty-gritty store design, and that move got us all the thumbs-up we needed before we even began building. Not a second down the drain!
