It was a long time a dream to design the floral store for the LDLine team, due this customer’s inquiry we could combine our passion in landscape softscape design with interior hardscape.

At the very beginning when the site access was available and we entered in to review the unit space, right away raised up the pivotal idea to create the interior with a sense of outdoor space vibe. We were envisioning the historical cities of France or Italy, where flower kiosks or greenhouses embedded into the streetscape between scattered gingerbread masonry houses.

There was no doubt to integrate the touch of greenhouse structure into the interior space. Furthermore, to apply on one tall wall brick veneer feature wall to imitate and enhance the illusion of the store location attached to the historical adjacent building.

The freestanding Walk in Cooler gives an additional showcase effect of the street kiosk for visitors. It makes an intrigue of another room being in the main retail area. Moreover,  beside the primer function of the w.i.cooler to keep the some species of the flower fresh it bears another feature giving the privacy for visitors discussing with florists their inquiries  for services or commodities purchase.

On both sides of the demising walls are arranged the fake windows with illuminated translucent fabric in the frame. It enhances the back alley effect between historical buildings.

Almost one third of the overall space filled by workshop due customer’s requirement to have plenty workable space and storage for tools, new consignments.

The main finish floor material was selected wood grain deck effect luxury vinyl plank which reconstruct the real street decking floor.

To avoid the “Well Effect” of the commercial unit, where the height equals the width from wall to wall it has been decided to add the artificial vegetation wall on the header above the cash counter, door heading to the workshop and the w.i.cooler.

The front entry emphasized with checker style tile to apply the historical aspects of the interior and make the showcase curb appeal with contrast pattern.

Washroom is designed based on barrier free codes requirement with minimalistic elements and integrity of the rest of the workshop

It was developed the optional simplified design for the retail area embrace more light ordinary colors:

Overall though major elements of the design, such as metal, brick, course woodgrain effect, outdoor structure are perfectly rectilinear the designers uses colors and natural forms to soften the rectangularity of the commercial premise.
