This project developed out of a process of conceptual model making for a retail display system. The spatial planning was then informed by the articulation of the display system and how it could further speak to the overall architectural language of the space. The project consists of three sizes of lumber that make up the display, screen, walls, floor, and doors. Cut lists are generated to speed up the process of construction.
