THE SHOWROOM 2023 - Toronto A defining feature of the showroom is the mirrored ceiling that runs parallel to a black carpet path on the floor. This mirror adds a unique dimension and an element of surprise, providing customers with an immersive experience as they browse the store. The reflections add depth to the space, creating an ambiance of exclusivity. Careful consideration has been given to lighting throughout the showroom. The lighting is designed to emphasize the premium feel of the space while enhancing the visibility of the firearms. Recessed and track lighting, combined with the showcase lightboxes, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. To infuse warmth and luxury into the space, a carefully selected black velvet carpet pathway runs parallel to the concrete or epoxy flooring. The contrast between the cool, smooth surface of the flooring and the plush, velvety black carpet creates a visually striking juxtaposition. This combination not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also adds to the tactile and sensory experience for visitors. The use of simple and cost-effective materials has been elevated through a thoughtfully chosen color palette. The materials include metal panels, black carpets, and mirrors, while the color scheme predominantly features sleek blacks, deep grays, and occasional accents of gold or silver. This combination of materials and colors creates a sense of opulence and minimalism, setting the LuxeFirearms Showroom apart from conventional gun retail spaces. #toronto #architecture #luxurydesign #project

The aesthetics of the workplace can affect experience, and thus directly impact well-being and performance. Introducing elements that may - consciously or subconsciously - be associated with the familiarity and comfort of a home environment, can reduce anxiety and elevate the sense of ease for staff and visitors. A design element that has one of the most significant impacts on the feel of a space, simply by virtue of the area it commands, is flooring. More typically found in residential settings, a cut pile carpet is more luxe to look at, absorbs more sound and is softer underfoot than the typical commercial carpet, bringing the residential feel to work. Residential-style cut pile broadloom may not have the longevity required for areas of high use, such as under castor chairs, but modulyss® have the answer, with Gleam cut pile commercial tiles. Made with 100% recycled nylon yarn in 27 colours, this soft, cut pile has a luxurious look that lays looking like a broadloom, whilst having the practicality of a tile that can be replaced in areas of high wear or stain damage - to which this carpet tile is highly resistant. The award-winning fit-out for HB Central by WARREN AND MAHONEY employed Gleam carpet tiles from modulyss in the office floors for quiet spaces, lending sophistication and softness to the pared-back, historic architectural elements.

In today's world, introducing a new product is justified only if it genuinely has a meaningful impact: in this case, changing the way things are done through circular design.
