The intent of the overall design approach was to blend the often disparate aesthetics of the historic building's exterior with a freshness created through modern design influences by refinishing the interior into clean, open and airy spaces, serve as a showcase for the business and its products. Once small, dark and dingy rooms, walls were cleaned and painted. Low ceilings were removed to open up the retail rooms into a loft-like space emphasizing the buildings volumes from within. Simple but dramatic lighting was incorporated to serve as both ambient and task oriented purposes. Bright and soft colors reflected the desire to emphasize product while enhancing the interior experience.
