good qualities of the flagship store:

unique design

strategic location- located in the heart of Myeong-Dong, Seoul

Uses rich brown and beige tones instead of the classic green hues to reflect another side of nature, inspired by the "pristine nature of Madagascar" which is surrounded by rocks, pebbles and sand

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Text description provided by the architects. Located in the vibrant heart of Myeong-dong, Seoul, the skin1004 flagship store emerges as a distinctive presence in a saturated landscape of skincare boutiques. The essence of this differentiation lies in meticulous, creative space design, serving as the cornerstone for shaping the brand's unique identity and resonance with the public. As the pioneer of the first offline flagship store in Myeongdong, skin1004 embraces the profound concept of "untouched nature," liberating itself from the cliche of nature in green hues. Instead, it introduces a newly crafted landscape, bathed in rich brown and beige tones inspired by the pristine nature of Madagascar, surrounded by rocks, pebbles, and sand. The design aims to offer a distinct experience by blending various landscapes within the urban environment. This intentional contrast with the bustling city outside creates a captivating space, sparking curiosity and providing an intriguing escape for visitors.

The façade of the flagship store boldly features an intense rock texture, a departure from the conventional glass storefronts of Myeong-dong. The strategic integration of brass metal in the entrance and windows epitomizes Skin1004's modern brand philosophy, transforming raw elements of untouched nature, symbolized by rocks, into cosmetic products through advanced technology. The curved windows, brass benches, and carefully curated landscaping contribute to the creation of a three-dimensional space, transcending a simple two-dimensional pattern.

The first floor serves as an exhibition space reflecting the brand's philosophy and identity, while the second floor accommodates a lounge and sales area for product testing and social events. These spaces are intricately connected through a void, housing a sculpture that seamlessly blends the concept of untouched nature with a modern aesthetic. Upon entering the premises through the external rock façade, the first-floor interior simulates an organic walking trail, reinterpreting the concept of untouched nature in the warm brown tones reminiscent of desert and rocky landscapes. Visitors meander through reed landscapes, encounter swaying water waves, witness natural scenes on media walls, and feel the rough texture of rocks, offering an immersive experience of navigating through the theme of "untouched nature."

Upon climbing the reed forest-inspired staircase, visitors encounter a space on the second floor where they can directly experience and purchase cosmetic products. The impactful rock sculpture from the first floor remains visually striking through the void space. Ceiling-mounted illuminative lighting on the second floor, cascading onto the rock sculpture, maintains the subtle natural light ambiance on both floors, enhancing the overall atmosphere.

Lewis's Department Store in Liverpool - established in 1856, later expanded into a chain in across England and Scotland

the present store was designed in 1947 featuring a stripped classical style with prominent facades facing Renshaw street, Ranelagh Street and Fairclough Street

Interior retains many original features

What had been done well

added artistic elements like 'Liverpool Resurgent' - add visual impact to the building

the statue LIVERPOOL RESURGENT is accompanied by relief panels depicting scenes of childhood - modelled on the sculptor Jacob Epstein's own children and grandchildren representing the younger generation which Liverpool was being built for

what inspired me

i would like to take the idea that designers kept some of the original features of the building and incorporate it when designing the flagship store. I would like to keep features of the Apple store like the arched windows, the symmetry seen throughout the building and the intricate detailing shown on the walls and ceiling.

HISTORY: The first Lewis's store was established in 1856 on Ranelagh Street by David Lewis (born David Levy), retailer and later a philanthropist, as a men's and boy's clothing store. In 1864 women's clothing was incorporated and the store later expanded in the 1870s by adding further departments including shoes and tobacco. Later other branches were opened in Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield (all now closed) and Lewis's became England's first department store chain. After David Lewis' death the business was taken over by Louis Cohen and subsequently Harold and Rex Cohen who took the company public in 1924 and opened further stores in England and Scotland. In 1951 the Lewis group purchased Selfridges, London. The original C19 store was replaced in stages from 1910-1923 to the classical designs of Gerald de Courcy Fraser and incorporated another adjacent building (Watson Building) to the SE along Renshaw Street into its design for use as offices and storage. The store was mostly destroyed during the Liverpool Blitz of May 1941 and was redesigned as the present store in 1947 (constructed in the late 1940s/early 1950s), again to the designs of de Courcy Fraser and constructed by Fraser, Sons & Geary. Only part of the early C20 store survived the bombing (the Watson Building) and this was retained whilst the rest of the building was rebuilt in a more modern stripped classical style. To signify Liverpool's resurgence following the war years a nude male sculpture and 3 bronze reliefs by Sir Jacob Epstein were incorporated into the new design. After the Cohens the Lewis's group had a succession of different owners before becoming part of the Sears Group, who remained in control until 1992 when Owen Owen took over. Owen Owen retained some stores to continue trading under the Lewis's brand name but sold other stores to other retail operators. After 2001 following the closure of the Manchester store the Liverpool branch was the only store trading under the Lewis's name. Owen Owen went into administration in early 2007 and four of their stores (including Lewis's) are to be closed. Up until 1987 the whole store was operative but with dwindling trade the top floors including the restaurants, hair/beauty salon, and the function room were closed off to the public with only the basement, ground, first and second floors remaining in retail use. In 1959 a subway was created underneath Fairclough Street that linked Central Station with the basement of Lewis's. This still remains in use.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: A major, prominently-sited post-war department store in the stripped Classical style designed in 1947 by Gerald de Courcy Fraser and constructed in the late 1940s/early 1950s. The present building replaced an earlier store that was mostly destroyed during the Liverpool blitz of May 1941. Lewis's department store possesses imposing main elevations and a striking overall composition and massing that incorporates a giant bronze sculpture and ciment fondu reliefs by the internationally significant sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein, which represent Liverpool's resurgence after the war years. Combined with an interior that retains its original floor plan and features including unique Festival of Britain murals in the fifth floor restaurant, a decorative plaster relief in the former hair salon, all the original stone and marble stairs and some original lifts. Lewis's is a distinctive and now rare example of a little-altered, early post-war department store with high quality architectural detailing. As such it fully merits listing at grade II.

'Green Oasis' is intended to have a calmly sophisticated and individualised indulgence vibe. Customers are met by a gentle glow of natural light entering through the arched windows, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
The colour palette of dark greens, pastel pinks and earthy tones evoke a sense of connection to nature and sustainability - one of the main ideas the brand preaches.

Clean lines and minimalist furniture define sleek and modern design features that provide a modern environment for discovery. The natural scents of botanical extracts and essential oils gently fill the air, drawing patrons in to interact with the customisation bar where they can make their own unique fragrances.

A gentle, ambient soundtrack permeates the entire store, adding to the peaceful atmosphere and promoting a relaxed pace. Consumers are guaranteed a sensory-rich shopping experience as they explore and test an extensive selection of skincare, bath and body, and beauty goods arranged on light-coloured hardwood shelves.

When visitors ascend to the mezzanine level, they find themselves in a lush green sanctuary with cosy seating sections. Here, soft pastel pink wraps and pillows embrace them as they relax amid the calming sounds of nature.

Luxury, relaxation, nature, personalized pampering.

Four main types of lighting
- ambient ( general ambience, non-focused, uniform)
- decorative /accent - ( accent: directional, focused to emphasise an object and draw attention. ( decorative : same as accent lighting )
- task - i.g table lamps ( no task lighting at the Apple Store due to lighting from iPads etc.. )

Lighting strategies

01- direct & indirect balance : direct lighting distributes ambient light with crisp shadow and you're able to see where the light is. Optical accessories can be used to mitigate glare from direct light
Indirect lighting : used to produce ambient light with softer shadows and you’re not able to see where the light is. Softer glare

02- layering
Layers of light set the mood and visual interest to a room with style and versatility
All four of different lighting needed

03- contrast
Helpful for adding dimension and drama to a space
Helps create depth around objects
Varying intensity of light

04- aim and focus
Can impact the appearance of the room and any special accent within
Can draw eye to specific features

05- beam angle control
Wife flood fills the room with ambient light
Flood draws focus
Spots add drama to object of interest

06- Spectrum
Flexibility of dynamic

07- define colour temperature
Height quality white light that recreates any outdoor lighting condition

08- colour rendering index
Lighting has the ability to tune the colours that make up white light at a given correlated colour temperature

Three main colour used to make white light
Red blue and green ( not all white light is the same )

Transformative scene : able to create different moods

Precedents

Mike house of innovation - New York
Riggs hotel - Washington DC (combinations of all four types of lighting)

Some prominent trends include:

Clean and Natural ingredients - growing demand for products formulated with clean, natural ad organic ingredients as consumers are increasingly mindful of what they put on their skin and seek out products free from harsh ingredients

Sustainability and Eco-friendliness - Brands are focusing on reducing packaging waste and using recyclable materials as consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious

Personalized skincare - Brands are offering solutions for different skin types

inclusive Beauty - growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion

Multifunctional Products - stronger desire for simplicity brings about demand for products that offer multiple benefits in one

Wellness and Self-care - consumers seek products that promote holistic well-beings such as products infused with ingredients like adaptogens and vitamins

Connection and movement through a space

Dual function?

Stairs - functional or feature, creating drama and visual interest with design schemes

Ramps- inclusive strategy

Safe and functional for users with disabilities

- interior circulation and spaces should have a relationship

Main components to think about

- tread depth (250mm - 400m)

- Pitch line

- Rise height (150mm - 170mm)

- Run

- Rise

Every rise we go up by 12 we have to have a landing

Example

Utility stair:

Rise - 150-190 mm

Going- 250- 400mm

Minimum two metre headroom

Generally split into two types

- commercial (relevant one )

- Residential

Reference: The Building regulations 2010

Ramp

Every time you go up a metre you have to go along 12 metres

Minimum width- 1200mm

Interior walls are non loadbearing, can either use wood or gypsum plasterboard.

interior walls only need to act as partition from the external walls currently available therefore do not need to be supported as loadbearing walls do.

Design

these walls are needed:

- to separate checkout lines into two rows

- to help display bases and ingredients in the customization area

- as a background for the display stands/shelves that are near the windows
