Sephora

Sephora's West Coast flagship store was designed by FeeMunsonEbert, San Francisco, in the style of the Paris flagship. The 10,000-sq.-ft. freestanding space features all-glass exposures on Stockton and Ellis Streets, with an animated display on the second floor of the Ellis Street exposure. A 19-ft.-high drywall barrel vault ceiling, visible from the entryway, spans the entire second floor, acting as a conduit to lead customers through the store. A glass bridge on the second floor, lit from below, increases the sense of glamour in the store.
