CONCEPT STATEMENT To honour the Mayan cultural significance of the sun, the spatial experience seeks to encapsulate the sacred union between Earth and the cosmos, drawing inspiration from the sun's quarterly positions: solstices and equinoxes. Landmarks defined by the celestial events form a point of activity that deepens the connection between guests, the everlasting sun and the heritage of the region.

Principles such as tapestry of light and dark (A Pattern Language) and Kevin Lynch’s 5 elements are key foundations of the design to craft a holistic and engaging dining experience.

The design symbolizes the moment of equilibrium between day and night. Warm, radiant orange tones are harmoniously contrasted with a deep, mysterious blue hue. This intentional colour pairing captures the compelling transition from daytime vibrancy to the mystical night.

03 EXPLORATORY MEETS HARMONIOUS A jewelry boutique - Forms a social experience in response to an era where emotional connections are derived...-

The project is a Bvlgari luxury boutique located at the heart of the Distillery District in downtown Toronto.

1400 sqft Revit, Photoshop, Procreate, Enscape.

Toronto, Canada

CONCEPT STATEMENT The project takes inspiration from the brand’s symbolic 8-point star motif that appeared on the entrance floor of Bvlgari’s first shop in 1884. The star representation of cardinal directions, harmony, balance, and cosmic order is used to define the structural elements and wayfinding of the space. Using Gestalt psychology, the space manipulates the shapes, forms, planes, and patterns derived from the star motif to create memorable mental notes of landmarks, and nodes that elevate the presence of the merchandise.

Each consultation area is secluded by a combination of similar design elements mirroring the form of the parti diagram. Influenced by the law of similarity and proximity, users would perceive the separated elements in the visual field from the recessed ceiling, hanging pendants to the consultation desk as a cohesive group.
