F0014 – 1045 Robson St. Vancouver, BC

SEPHORA

Scott C. Mitchell, Project Architect and Senior Associate @ Francl Architecture

With the success of 1025 Robson, developer West Coast Projects were approached by retailer Sephora to build a flagship store in Downtown Vancouver.  This stand alone new build creates a similar double height storefront arch as its neighbours and utilizes the brand’s bold black granite and white limestone colour scheme and iconic “S-“shaped flame logo.  A custom designed 3-dimensional metal screen that captures the “S”-shaped flame in its negative space was installed across the upper story glass storefront as a sculptural element which provides the interior with solar screening and visual interest.
