Dallas Zoo Retail Store
THE ASK:
Design a new store that would bring the current store up to date and function with the merchandising needs.
CHALLENGES:
From demo to opening, the store could only be closed for 6 weeks. Consideration on the construction items was important so the store could meet the timeline.
THE ANSWER:
The existing skylight was repurposed into a photo-opp with a giraffe peaking through a conceptual tree canopy. This helps attract guests into the space. A floating vinyl wood floor was installed over the existing tile and existing ceiling grid was kept with a fresh coat of paint. New perimeter wall fixtures and hero table fixtures were added, along with fixtures to help create the queue line. Previously guests didn't have an organized line to wait/shop in.
