Luxury Retail Store

ASL design studio designed the space for the Judith Leiber retail store in Panama City. They put emphasis on the merchendise in the store, while disolving the architecture. Using lighting techniquest to focus the casework and sign, the all glass storefront allows potential customers to see the luxurious goods from the outside. The interior is very elegent and accents of tile compliment the rich colour pallete. Even from outside you get the impression that the store is an expensive, high end retail store. Retail is one of ASL’s “niche’s” and it really shows in its stunning beauty that meets the clients needs as well as customers.  This store is one that catches your eye as you walk by and ASL did a impressive job to help put the store “on the map”. I know i would be intrigued to go into the store (if i had that kinda money).

If you compare ASL’s duty free retail stores to the Judith Leiber store, they couldn’t be more opposite as far as its style goes, general feeling and how people are going to interact within the stores. By comparing the two, it really shows the companies diversity and flexibility to be able to design for anyone. You can tell that the duty free stores are aimed for the general public and can satisfy everyones needs, while at Judith Leibers retail store, its styled for the more specific crowd, the more “high end” population. The materials selected feel alot more luxurious and sophisticated compared to those at the duty free stores.
