Rain of Gold: Stunning Jewelry Store Enchants in Breathtaking Black and Gold

The culture of large retail chains across the world has seen commercial design take a more monotonous trend in the last few years. While a similar store design of the brand does give customers a sense of familiarity and encourages brand loyalty, it does significantly cut back on what architects can do with a store interior. Taking the opposite approach with its glittering design that leaves you just awe-struck right at the doorstep is the Swarn Jewellers, in Panchkula, India. Designed with contemporary flair by Studio Ardete, this jewelry store feels both opulent and sophisticated at the same time. ‘Swarn’ in Sanskrit means gold and that is just what you get even with the backdrop of the interior with a custom ‘rain of gold’ design!

Display boxes with golden frame and red, tufted niches welcome you inside this store even as the street façade also glitters in gold and black. Golden frames used for the display highlight the jewelry pieces even as they add to the overall charisma of the store. With innovative lighting pieces that also incorporate golden glint, everything here is geared to showcase the beauty of yellow metal at its brightest best. Another highlight inside the store is the black vinyl sheet with punctures ranging from 2-4 mm that showcase the bright, backlit acrylic sheet in golden tint. This creates the bespoke ‘rain of gold’ look inside the store.

  • Hillside Sanctuary

    The owner of this property came to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer looking for a personal retreat inspired by a home lost to fire decades earlier in the hills of Appalachia. The firm’s task was not to recreate that home but rather to give its spirit new form in the Pacific Northwest. Taking inspiration from its remote site in the San Juan Islands, our team envisioned a series of simple stone volumes. From that concept emerged the main house and a guest house, each responding to its own unique location on the site. Together they provide friends and family with comfortable accommodation while offering a sanctuary for the owner at the main home. Taking full advantage of sweeping views of Puget Sound, the main home is sited on a small plateau high on top of a steeply-sloping hillside. With a view on one side and a road on the other, the site suggested a stone plinth and stone wall to form the base and rear of the house. A pair of stone fireplace volumes support the concept, rising together to form the boundaries of a central stone staircase that separates the main level into public and private realms. Atop the low stone base then perches a light-filled wood structure. Its simple shed roof tips low in front to protect from the summer sun while offering space for a photovoltaic array above. Winter light in turn penetrates deep into the main living spaces through a wall of glass running continuously across building’s south elevation. The relative height difference between this wood pavilion and that of the adjacent stone volume also allows consistent north light to flood into the primary living spaces via a series of clerestory windows, which release warm air high on the leeward side of the structure. The site for the guest house came with more significant technical challenges. The concept begins with a stone tower set near the center of the small circular parcel. Rising high above steeply-sloping grade, it acts as a three-dimensional datum through which feature program elements are allowed to puncture. The main entry offers ease of access to the project’s public spaces through a simple, full-height opening cut into the stone volume’s north elevation. The stair, comprised of a concrete base below large casement windows, allows natural light to fill the main stairway as it leads guests toward the bedrooms located at the home’s lower level. Opposite the entry, the view deck extends from the great room, cantilevering far above grade. The dining room, finally, was conceived as a three-sided glass object floating in a forest of trees. Two steel beams carry its entire weight and extend deep into the floor system. To enhance the concept, our team preserved trees only a few feet from the dining room by developing custom retaining walls capable of avoiding critical root zones.
