This five-storey high, Madison Avenue townhouse serves as Kate Spade's first Flagship store. The space is intended to act as an immersive shopping experience - showcasing the finest products the brand has to offer while acting as a lifestyle apartment for the ideal Kate Spade consumer.
The building was transformed from the inside out - with new infrastructural systems (HVAC, electrical, fire alarm, sprinkler) and a highly-detailed fit-out. Customers are greeted by book-ended, 15' tall custom walnut screens, bespoke sputnik chandeliers and a new marble-clad grand staircase. Each floor accommodates a different product category, culminating in the top-floor VIP and fitting room.

Kate Spade chose Highland Village in Houston, Texas for their second Flagship location. The 6,000 square foot store includes a new 65'-long storefront, suspended neon sculpture, a living green wall, bespoke retro-themed facade panels and a 20' wide circular chevron inlayed floor.
This project was practically built from scratch, with the initial demolition having preserved only a portion of the roof and rear wall. The grand scale of the newly-constructed, inflected storefront sits in contrast to the intimate spatial feel of the store's retail zones. Colorfully lacquered millwork and brass art installations evoke a sense refinement and whimsy which are signature to the brand.
