New York studio BoND has created a "feminine, organic" interior for Brazilian brand PatBo's store in Miami Design District, complete with a dramatic sweeping staircase.
The two-level retail space was designed by BoND following the studio's work on the PatBo headquarters in Manhattan, which opened last year.
The team took a similarly soft, feminine approach in the Miami flagship, pairing white and pale pink with rich woods and brass accents.
"The new store is an artful and site-specific reinterpretation of the feminine, organic aesthetic that is synonymous with the brand's stores in Brazil," said BoND.
Entering under a dramatic arched canopy, customers find themselves within a tall, bright space featuring terrazzo flooring, geometric wooden display plinths and brass rails.
Hints of green marble can be spied in custom furniture pieces, as well as the stair treads and risers hidden behind a solid, ribbon-like guardrail.
An arched opening beside the register leads into a bright, coral-coloured changing area, where terracotta tiles cover the floor.
The staircase glides up the curved back wall of the store, and rises through a gap in the upper floor plate, around which the balustrade circles back on itself.
"A winding white and green marble staircase serves as a focal point of the space connecting visitors to the second-floor salon and dressing area," said the studio.
Curved wood panels and caramel-coloured carpet provide a more intimate atmosphere upstairs, exaggerated by the lower ceiling height.
The brass railings continue, whereas the coral fitting rooms are swapped for wood-lined chambers with curved corners and warm lighting.
"An overarching geometry of soft curves is a running thread that ties all spaces together," the studio said.
Furniture pieces including Frank Gehry's Wiggle chair, a green marble coffee table and a curved grey sofa form a seating area for customers to relax while they shop.
Overhead are a pair of oversized silk flowers by artist Hana Form, which also appear on the ground floor suspended through the staircase void.
BoND also created a facade of pale pink wooden slats to help the building to stand out in the Miami Design District, where brands are encouraged to get creative with their frontages.
A Louis Vuitton store wrapped in a diamond-patterned facade by Marcel Wanders and a Kengo Kuma-designed block of sculptural buildings are among other examples.
BoND was founded by Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger, whose studio has also completed a bold yellow scheme for a men's apparel store in New York.
The firm's other projects include the renovation of a mid-century Sears Catalog kit house in Fire Island Pines and a Manhattan hair salon featuring wooden frames and moveable styling stations.
