Random Inspiration

While working on my final Project I found this store online and I just had to link it on my blog. Enjoy!!

The Hatchery- elastisized

The retail space will be connected to the gallery space by an entryway that is made up of rubber and elastic cables strung from the floor to the ceiling.


The ceiling in the retail space is made to look like it is being stretched in all different directions. In theory, the ceiling will be constructed out of fabric.

Some of the walls in the space appear to be stretching out into the space, held in place by cables. This wall will be above the cash wrap which will be suspended from the wall by rubber and elastic cables.


The cash wrap will have a front panel that is covered in elastic banding, stretched to different thicknesses over a light box. The tighter the elastic is pulled, the more light will shine through. This type of accent lighting will be used multiple times around the store.


Shelving around the store will mirror the ceiling design, and will appear to be stretched out from the wall itself.

The lighting in the space will be accent from the panels of elastic, natural light that comes in through the gallery space as well as sconces and pendants. (dwr.com)





Both the front and back esntrance to the gallery will have a facade put over the existing building covering the brick in smooth, white. The concept of elasticity will be shown here by stretching the facade like the retail space's ceiling.


The is the plan view of the separation of spaces in the hatchery. The back entrance is on the left side of the plan. The spaces from left to right are the consultation/ meeting room, the co-lab studio, the retail space, and the gallery. The floors will be the existing wood flooring.


When you enter through the back entrance you will have access to the co-lab (collaboration studio) and a meeting/consultation space. Both of these spaces will have a window that opens up to the hallway so that they act as a sort of gallery space displaying works in progress. This idea will "stretch" the spaces into public view.

The opposite end of the hallway from the entrance is the retail space, the heart of the space.

The color scheme and furniture selections for this space can be found in the previous post- concept: elasticity which serves as my inspiration board.
