INTRODUCTION

TO THIS PROJECT

For this assignment, we have to design the interior layout of a store which will be located in Gillman Barracks. There four categories which we can choose to work on: Wellness, Gallery, Fashion and Culture. out of the four of them, I chose to work on an aromatherapy store which falls under two of the categories which are wellness and gallery as I will be incorporating a gallery where information such as the history, fun fact and benefits of the oil will be displayed. 

 

The main reason as to why I chose to have a gallery in my aromatherapy store is because I want to be able to educate the public, in the sense that they would be able to learn something new and be able to bring back the information with them. I will also be providing massages for my customers for them to relief themselves after a long day.
 

SITE STUDY

Before we start designing the interior of the store, we went for a site visit first. Through this visit, we took note of how the surroundings such as the type of stores that can be found at Gillman Barracks, the nearest bus stop and the type of customers that we may have to cater to.

SHOP FRONT

For the shop front, also known as the display window, I decided to have three huge aromatherapy necklace hanging from the ceiling. I will then put in my product which is the aromatherapy oil bottles. They shall be arranged neatly within the gigantic necklace. 

DESIGN INTENT

To create a warm and inviting space where people of all ages can take temporary refuge. The atmosphere within the store gives off a calming sensation with the use of natural materials such as wood. Services such as massage can be found within the store for people to de-stress themselves.

PROBLEMS WITH THE

CURRENT DESIGN

  • I had a hard time trying to come up with a

      design that works out. As of current, the 

       spaces in the retail were not well thought of
       due to time constraint.

  • I did not managed to make use of the spaces

      well which led to an awkward “tunnel”
       like space.

  • My retail area took up less than 25 percent

       of the store which serves as a problem as the
       store would not be able to earn enough
       profits from the sale of the essential oils and
       massage services.

  • The massage rooms are too small and there

       can be more massage rooms to cater to the
       needs of my customers.
