site plan
Etikette is an environmentally conscious Australian brand from Adelaide, South Australia. They specialise in the art of candle making. In this task, the assignment was to choose an online brand and design a retail store. The design will reflect the brand appropriately while abiding to the set of retail tenancy guidelines given. A minimal, contemporary design with a play on lighting to set the mood is the intention for this design.

Being an environmentally conscious brand, materials chosen for the overall design of the space is kept to a minimum as an effort to minimise waste. Through initial research, topography is the driving idea for the space. Further elaborating on the idea of topology, the elements I have chosen to focus on is the unevenness and curves. To reflect that, soft organic curves along the entirety of the store as well as displays being at different heights. A neutral colour palette is utilised within this design to reflect the brand’s aesthetic.

For ceiling design, it combines protrusions along the side while the middle is recessed. The shape of the joinery at the centre of the store is an exact copy of the recessed area on the ceiling. This is done to represent the joinery being cut and brought down to ground level from the ceiling.
