Minbart | Lab100

An independent concept store on the beach front of Al-Muneera, Raha Beach in Abu Dabi. Details are clear-cut with a minimal approach for the purpose of clear zoning . Materials were selected to emphasize a monotone color/texture scheme, allowing the products displayed to be the main source of attraction.

The wooden display cubes were designed in a form to be stackable, allowing for a versatile display platform. In order to compensate for the shop size limitation, the ceiling above the display area was left exposed in order to empower the grand height (5m). For this to be done in an aesthetic manner, the mechanical services (ducting) & piping where designed to be placed above the storage area, allowing the A.C grills to be hidden within the bulkhead. To utilize the store height & emphasize it’s scale, bold track lights where suspended from the slab above.
