Living Beauty Inc.

Throughout history, apothecaries have acted as spaces of both curiosity and care. Traditionally defined by dark wood, elaborate detailing, and a plethora of small drawers containing unseen intrigues, these service-forward spaces offered intimate consultations conducted on either side of a counter. Living Beauty boldly reinvents this bygone but invaluable typology, defining an impactful interior design identity for the luxury beauty retailer. John Alunan John Alunan Located in Toronto’s Christie Pits neighbourhood, Living Beauty intends a personalized, one-to-one experience for visitors.

Essentia

In the pedestrian heart of Padua, Essentia redefines the concept of a showroom through an intervention that works on spatial continuity and the expressive power of surfaces. The project moves beyond simple commercial display to create a unified organism, where cement resin, stone, and wood become architectural matter that guides the visitor from the public dimension of the ground floor toward the immersive and intimate dimension of the basement. The entrance welcomes the client into a space that becomes an urban scenography.

Andrews Bayview Village

Located in uptown Toronto, the Bayview Village Shopping Centre is an icon from the 1960s, a time that saw smaller community malls open in growing residential neighbourhoods across the city — many of which are now gone. In our present, a growing desire for meaningful retail experiences in tangible, local environments inspires our transformation of Andrews, a celebrated Canadian womenswear retailer with a 5,500-square-foot location inside the mall.   John Alunan While offering a large selection typical of a department store, the brand’s goal is to provide a customer experience that feels closer to that of a boutique. In service of this balance, we devised an arrangement of low-to-the-ground volumes that instill a sense... More
