Locations:  Queretaro, Mexico & Polanco, Mexico DF

​

Queretaro:  Tasked with creating a luxury retail destination and to design “many worlds within one world” that is ’Totalmente Palacio’ my Gensler team created 3 floors which are independent but connected atmospheres, reflecting the surrounding natural landscape. This location is founded on the idea of a natural wellspring, alluding to a bountiful source of inspiration, and generating a cascade of themes and experiences.  I was the sole space planner for the entire department store & development of individual departments.  Lone senior team leader in the establishment, direction, coordination, and dissemination of client directives and goals to large multi-location/multi-national teams.  The project team relied on me for support on evolution of design ideas, technical detailing.  I had oversight of entire rendering progression (some 30 or so departments) and full construction drawings, in a very tight timeframe.
