New or Completely Renovated Full-Line Department Store
Award of Merit
RYA Design Consultancy, Dallas
Designers pulled out all the stops for the new three-level, 150,000-square-foot Almacenes Paris store in Chile. Square columns and curved ceiling panels dominate the cosmetics counter and serve as architectural signatures; blue back-painted glass panels reinforce the brand at the escalator; and colorful, backlit lifestyle graphics are visual beacons in every department.
