Shopping parades are purpose-built rows of shops, often with generous residential accommodation above. They were built in large numbers, and with increasing architectural elaboration, from the mid-nineteenth century. Parades often comprised the commercial centre of suburban and dormitory communities, but were built on main thoroughfares, close to railway stations or tram or omnibus termini, where they might attract passing traffic as well as local shoppers. From the 1880s parades adopted a plethora of historicist styles: neo-Tudor, neo-Baroque, Queen Anne and a restrained neo-Georgian. The last predominated in the inter-war years, which might be regarded as the heyday of the shopping parade.

Mezzanine

Light:

Bright lighting using warm lighting and natural lighting to brighten the space.

Colour:

White, off-white, cream, beige and light pinks using greenery for a feature and give a clean feel.

Form:

The mezzanine should feel like a total transformation from the ground floor as it will have a rounded structure using curved wall features and rounded furniture to soften the space.

Layout:

The mezzanine will have more of an open feel due to the open centre that looks over the ground floor so i will add ceiling features and a simple flow that circles the space.

Accessories:

The aim of this floor is to feel more relaxed so i will add comforting accessories and soft and inviting furniture.

Sound: as the space is open, looking over the ground floor which has a completely different aesthetic to the mezzanine i plan to add a glass screen, blocking sound from beneath making a quieter and peaceful space.

Aesthetic:

A peaceful, relaxing, space almost like a spa promote Fenty skin.

# data[].attributes.body
Ground (back)

Light:

A dark, beige brown lighting with LEDs to brighten the space with bright mirrors throughout

Colour:

Pink beige soft colours throughout the space, contrasting to the colourful aesthetic upstairs

Form:

A structured, symmetrical space, but softened with curvy features

Layout:

It will have a symmetrical layout, using stations for different products and one-to-one consultations, like most beauty stores, but a store like presentation on the outdoor walls.

Furniture:

Furniture will be chosen strategically due to the fact their function, and how comfortable they are, is more important than aesthetic.

Sound:

There will be a more chilled atmosphere, so the music should match the vibe, not too loud that it clashes with the ground as there is a less of an echo and uses will be conversing with consultants

Aesthetic:

The feel of the mezzanine should be simple with a use of many mirrors.

I created this in home deco as a quick way to design and test out different structures and colours and layouts in the space as i found it difficult to picture my own design in the space.

This was a good way to see what works and where shadows will be created and to work out scaling as you can add characters.

Building history

The Apple Store Birmingham was moved to one of Birmingham’s most historic and prominent stores in 2016 from previously known for being a six-Storey waterstones store on high street and originally being built as one of the first branches of midlands bank, designed in 1924 by Edwin Lutyens.

I decided to split the sections into three as there are three different brands selling different products, so i want to focus on and to differentiate them i want to showcase a contrasting aesthetic for each.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my initial plan for the mezzanine showing where i would add the sections but i then realised that the position of this mezzanine would block lighting in the totally wrong places for example the centre where the sky light comes in and the transition of the Savage X Fenty and Fenty beauty store will be.
