LA AMERICAN APPAREL FLAGSHIP STORE

Melrose, CA

Type: Retail Space Size: 6,000 SF Architect: Valerio Architecture and Interiors

The client was inspired by the idea of bringing the outdoors indoors. Together with the design team, we pushed to make a statement by building around the palm tree, making it a major element of the store.

The architect wanted a very clean and simple design. We worked closely to bring very clean and even light using white track lighting that blended with the white ceiling.

One of the major challenges for lighting design for this space was the balance of (Light Power Density (LPD) and a tight budget. Given that both space and budget were limited, we ran many photometric calculations with multiple layout and fixture options to provide the client with a wide range of options that could work with those constraints.
