Field Trip
Under Construction
Description
-
The primary goal of Field Trip was to reimagine a dated commercial space and convert it into a dynamic boutique retail experience. While retaining the existing footprint, every aspect of the space was reconsidered, leading to a remarkable transformation that revitalizes not just the physical structure but also its engagement with the surrounding context.

The initial challenges of a poor interaction with the main street were addressed through strategic design interventions. The relocation of the front door, now encompassed by a welcoming vestibule and an inviting front facade, provides a warm and inviting visual cue, creating a more engaging connection with the street. The exterior, adorned with moody painted siding and cedar accents, serves as a distinctive signal to the entryway.

Field Trip boasts a modern and approachable style that transcends its commercial roots. Inside, the floor plan has been completely opened up, offering maximum flexibility for shop owners. The warm yet fun interior design features arched openings and graphic accent wallpaper, creating a dynamic and inviting atmosphere.

The reimagined space of Field Trip is not just about aesthetics; it's designed for versatility. The custom shelving and open floor plan allow for dynamic product displays and adaptability, ensuring that the shop owners can curate an ever-evolving retail experience. Warm tones and inviting textures contribute to a welcoming environment that encourages exploration and discovery.
Field Trip is an exciting transformation, a vibrant renovation that breathes new life into an existing hair salon, evolving it into a small, boutique retail shop. This project is a testament to the creative potential of architectural ingenuity, where every detail of the space has been reimagined to enhance functionality, visual appeal, and interaction with the main street in Empire.
Field Trip is more than a renovation; it's a transformational journey that turns a dated commercial space into a lively and contemporary retail destination. Through thoughtful design and a keen understanding of its context, Field Trip emerges as a testament to the potential of architectural innovation in reshaping and enhancing the retail experience.
