A tiny basement concrete block storeroom transforms into a luxury jewellery consultation and piercing lab. Hidden beneath our client’s retail kiosk in Paddington, the design challenge was to convert a small footprint of 32m2 into a grand retail customer experience. 

High vaulted ceilings create spacious grandeur and resonate with old- world architecture. Polished Venetian render on the walls extends to the curved ceiling flanked by black profiled down-up linear lighting and accentuated with well-appointed, custom-made steel fittings and fixtures in matt-black. A frameless black glass door separates the piercing lab, providing a private chamber experience. Altogether this space culminates in underground luxury, which resonates with the client’s brand and creates a memorable one-to-one customer experience of calm and repose. 

The U+I Building Studio's conversion of the small basement storeroom into a luxurious jewellery consultation and piercing lab showcases our expertise in creating transformative spaces that leave a lasting impression. Through careful attention to detail, a harmonious blend of materials, and the seamless integration of brand identity, we have successfully crafted an environment that elevates the customer experience to new heights. This award winning project is a testament to our ability to create bespoke solutions within limited spaces, providing our clients with unique and immersive environments that reflect their vision and brand identity.
