The retail space was transformed into a unique site for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. The design embraces the unique aspects of the existing site, including the grain boxes used as a light feature and a monumental stair that bisects the large ground floor entrance. Interior detailing includes polished concrete floors, a specialty cork wallcovering and an exposed open ceiling to show off the space’s grand height.

Fine Wine & Good Spirits was looking for a one-of-a-kind location and design to set it apart from their typical retail specifications. Steps away from the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Fine Wine & Good Spirits designed this flagship store to provide an elevated customer experience.

This two-story, 15,000-square-foot retail space, includes a classroom and training room for events and speakers. A custom-made tasting bar is located on the second floor to showcase vendors.

To maintain some of the interesting features of the original use, the design team worked with a lighting designer to create a custom lighting pattern to maintain the look of the original grain silo chutes. Located in a busy section of Philadelphia, it was important to the client to have an expansive point of sale, which was clad in reclaimed wood with exposed Edison lights above.
