Restoration Hardware, a repeat client, and nationally recognized chain commissioned Buttrick Wong Architects to develop and explore new directions for their store design and branding. The prototype studied the synergy between focal points, merchandize in core categories, and the visual positioning of their store image relative to their competitors. Several ideas were implemented into their Kenwood store near Cincinnati, Ohio, and Buttrick Wong functioned as the lead design architect for the store layout and façade design and detailing.
