Two spaces, one new identity
The Brief
The project involves the renovation and expansion of Frank Zampa Jewelers, located in the historic and commercial district of Valletta. The project begins with the incorporation of the space adjacent to the existing jewelry store, with the goal of expanding the retail space and creating a unified image for both locations.
The proposal must address the connection between the two spaces, renovate the facade, and reorganize the layout, while also incorporating a new area in the basement dedicated to events and customer service.
Project Scope
The renovation connects the two original storefronts via a large open arch in the load-bearing wall, creating two interconnected jewelry areas. A new façade made of stained iroko wood and lacquered steel spans the full width of both storefronts, unifying their appearance facing the street. Project Technical Specifications 2029 Fr…
Inside, the design establishes a common aesthetic using stained oak and flooring composed of Tundra Grey and Grigio Rabat marble. The facade’s slatted design reappears in the central ceilings and in the display and customer service furniture, reinforcing the project’s continuity. The wall display cases, interior vaults, and the pattern of the flooring complete the composition of the sales areas.
An expansion that connects two spaces and transforms them into a single jewelry experience.
Ujo+partners developed the design and plans for the renovation and expansion of the jewelry store, including the new facade, the reorganization of the retail spaces, the furniture design, and partial renovation of the basement.
