DESIGN NAME: Our House
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Media store
INSPIRATION: The store is based around the idea of a ‘Media Street’.
The concept was about creating a thread to hang a more readable story on for the customers. It looks like part of a street, so it’s a half-constructed house, and when you walk in you see things like the fibre-optics.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: New integrated retail experience
Reinvents the shopping experience though innovative design, leading edge digital technology and a touch of Virgin magic to create a retail environment like none other.
Provides an unrivalled ‘wow’ factor, perfect in which to showcase Virgin Media’s next-generation services & provide a fun & immersive sensory experience at every touch point through:
Kinetic gesture controlled screens and interactive panels
interactive mobile wall
noticeable absence of traditional tills
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The space is loosely divided into zones to make the offer as simple to enjoy and shop as possible. On entering the store customers are greeted by Richard Branson, Mo Farah, Usain Bolt or even a T-Rex in a full high definition digital door.Media products are presented on the leftwhile mobile products and services are placed on the right towards the rear of the store. The 'shed ' provides refreshments and a dwell space where customers can relax. The garden space is designed for customers to sit with staff and discuss products and services.
