The Brief
The project involves the comprehensive renovation of a historic jewelry store in downtown Murcia, which specializes in selling exclusive pieces and has a long-standing tradition in the city. The main challenge is to transform a very small space into a fully functional area capable of accommodating all the services expected of a high-end jewelry store, including three distinct sales areas.
The renovation must address this spatial complexity without compromising a refined and prestigious image, reinforcing the store’s identity and enhancing the customer experience within a limited space.
Project Scope
The architectural design divides the space into two clearly distinct areas, both in terms of their composition and the treatment of materials. This strategy allows for a clear organization of the space, optimizing circulation and the use of every square meter, and facilitating the coexistence of the various retail areas.
The design plays with material and visual contrasts to establish a hierarchy of functions and add depth to a compact space. The custom-made furniture is seamlessly integrated, meeting the jewelry store’s technical needs without overwhelming the atmosphere. The lighting is specifically designed to reinforce this organization, highlighting the products and creating an elegant, controlled atmosphere.
The result is a functional and balanced jewelry store where tradition and modernity combine to offer a refined shopping experience, despite the store’s limited size.
A precise design that makes the most of every centimeter of space.
Ujo+partners developed the technical design and was responsible for fabrication and installation, as well as overall coordination, quality control, and final commissioning of the project.
