Toronto Eaton Centre-Starbucks Toronto, Ontario
Loto-Québec Montreal, Québec
With a wider selection of lottery games available in recent years, and the advancement of technology it was time to redesign the Loto-Québec mall units. Like an airplane cockpit, the kiosk was designed from the inside out. The interior was planned according to the operator. The redesigned kiosk now has a more modern, simple and fresh look. The new design integrates well into all the different centres and surroundings.
The re-imagined Starbucks Coffee kiosk at the Toronto Eaton Centre was created to be a timeless representation of craftsmanship through the use of natural materials, thoughtful detailing and art. The concept for the design was derived from a pseudo-tale created by the Starbucks design team. This was accomplished by creating beautifullylit vitrine cases, reminiscent of finely detailed jewelry cases.

Spring Rolls Hamilton, Québec
Metalsmiths Sterling Edmonton, Alberta
Toronto Pearson entered into an agreement with Metalsmiths Sterling to create a floating retail boutique. Having already opened boutiques in four other Canadian airports, the company was ready to take on Canada’ s largest airport by offering a flexible store design that adapts to limited airport concourse space and requires little storage or additional infrastructure.
The geometric square pattern ceiling and walls showcases the space and embodies the essence of the restaurant. The custom light fixtures and furniture integrate into the architecture to create a sense of spatial separation without the use of walls. The result allowed the client to maximise the seating capacity without compromising comfort. Imported flamed granite, custom tables and benches, powder-coated aluminium and acrylic light fixtures, and finally, large-scale format graphics unify to make a truly original customer experience.
