The design intent of this building façade upgrade was to create a simple, elegant statement in a very non-descript building, that represented the tenant/owner’s high end women’s couture clothing shop.
The building also had a grade change that required a disabled access ramp to replace the existing steps at the entry. By setting the entry door back in the space, we took the opportunity to create two curved display windows that featured the owner’s beautiful dresses behind the hand crafted wood storefront. With this elongated entry, we were able to accommodate the grade change with a 1:20 ramp that created an elegant and graceful entry while enabling the customer to enjoy the product on display.
