Designing Retail Spaces That Tell Your Brand Story

We transformed a typical bungalow in Bengaluru into a distinctive retail store for Yamini, a home furnishing brand. By adding a modern, curved glass facade, we opened up the building to the street, creating an inviting and contemporary identity for the brand.

This video showcases our retail designs for Yamini Home. We used the brand's colorful textiles as architectural elements, hanging them from ceilings and using them to create vibrant displays that reflect their focus on natural weaves and traditional crafts.

Our design for the Forest of Chintz retail space won the Gold award at the Wade India Excellence Awards. The project was recognized for its innovative use of a monolithic, stepwell-inspired form to create a truly unique and immersive architectural experience.

Inside the Yamini store, we contrasted raw concrete walls with warm wood and the brand's vibrant textiles. A simple, robust staircase connects the floors, while built-in shelving provides a clean, organized backdrop for the colorful home furnishing products.

To create a strong brand identity for ORRA amidst a chaotic streetscape, we designed a silent, all-black glass facade. This minimalist approach stands in direct contrast to the surrounding environment, creating a sense of mystery and luxury that draws customers in.

This physical model shows our early concept for the ORRA store, featuring a dramatic staircase suspended by thin cables. We have always used physical models to explore spatial ideas and materiality long before the digital age.

The interior of the Yamini store is designed to feel like a home, with products displayed in context. A traditional wooden bed is paired with the brand's textiles, allowing customers to visualize how the products would look in their own space.

This material mood board for the ORRA jewellery store shows our curated palette of black stone, textured wallpaper, glass, and mirror. These materials were orchestrated to create a sense of dark mystery and subtle richness, providing the perfect backdrop for glowing diamonds.
