NRML store renovation
A renovation of the iconic NRML store in downtown Ottawa.
​
Informed by the company's unique aesthetic and story, we gave the store a fresh, new and modern look.
Shoes, being the main draw, the display was completely revamped with bespoke floating modern brass supports on a backdrop of raw concrete panels.
New flexible cabinetry was installed through out both floors.
​
A dedicated Jersey space was created on the 2nd floor as well as an unique gallery with rotating memorabilia collected by the owner.
​
Fresh new graphics and paint were applied to all surfaces, including a vibrant gold paint at the underside of the stairs, and a striking wallpaper at the back of the store on both floors.
