Retail Design Award Highlights

He might not have won the Supreme Award at the Red Awards – that hon­our went to Christchurch's Redesign Interior Archi­tec­ture for the res­taur­ant Poppy Thai – but Mark Gascoigne was cer­tainly the big win­ner at the retail design awards, pick­ing up eight awards (out of 18 on offer).

Supreme Award win­ner, Poppy Thai by Redesign.

The Auckland-based Gascoigne Asso­ci­ates has cer­tainly carved out a retail nice, work­ing with cli­ents such as Glas­sons, Hal­len­steins, Rodd & Gunn, Hotel DeBrett, Nosh, Tele­com, Toyota et cet­era. His firm also recently worked on Dunedin mall pro­ject Wall Street, a large-scale retail pro­ject that com­prised three build­ings linked together via a large cent­ral atrium.

For the record, here's a list of some of Gascoigne's win­ning pro­jects with selec­ted images and judges' comments:

Tele­com Bot­any retail space, Group Award, Leis­ure: Designed in con­junc­tion with Saat­chi Design World­wide, this pro­ject also won the Sign of the Times Brand Applic­a­tion Award. Brand applic­a­tions were designed by Design­works. Judges said the space was a "great example of brand integ­ra­tion into all the com­pon­ents of the store's design".

Glas­sons Ric­car­ton, Divi­sion Win­ner and Over­all Win­ner in the Group Award, Per­sonal cat­egory. Also won the Inter­face NZ Floor­ing Award for its pat­terned floor. Judges said, "The neut­ral col­our palette works well for the mer­chand­ising of apparel and the dis­play fea­tures enhance the eclectic chic; mak­ing the store and the product more desir­able. It is a clever, appeal­ing and unique retail response by a designer who clearly knows the market."
