Market Place Our team’s Marketplace design is based on history of Seattle. Inthe early years, Seattle’s economy relied heavily on the timber

industry, shipping logs and milled timber. Seattle itself was a placeof wooden buildings until the Great Fire of June 6, 1889. However,

the city was quickly recovered and rebuilt in just about a yearand has been growing ever since.

The Marketplace is located at 200 Ocidental in the heart of Pioneer Square, which is full of historic places, right next to Seattle

downtown. Therefore, our target is creating a retail experiencethat embodies the essence of Seattle by conveying Seattle’s

past and present relationship with LUMBER.

We created three- level- floor- plan with the main circulation pathbetween levels are ramps to express the transition between past

to present and vice versa. Each level also has different architecturalwood framing method: post and beam, balloon and platform,

which emphasizes the use of lumber through history.

Poject Description

200 Occidental is an innovative mixed use development from UrbanVisions located in Pioneer Square, Seattle.

Our team project is using the 1st floor plan to design a marketplaceconcept that is contextual to its location.

After that, each person picks adesired location inside themaketplace floor plan to designa retail store that is related tomarketplace.

Seattle is also considered the most sustainable city in United States. Therefore, our rental clients would be mainly

anyone who carries green, sustainable, artisanal, local-made, organic products and everything in between. We also

want to spread out the idea of sustainable living aroundthe world since the majority of the Marketplace’s

customers are tourists.

Leasing Plan

Brand Strategya sealed transparent globe or similar container in which plants are grown.

Terrarium can be used as decorated planting object for indoor and outdoor spaces without taking lots of space, or requiring time consuming, and it can be environmental friendly by using recycled or reused products.

Anyone, age range from kid to senior, lower class to upper class, interesting in plants but does not have time to take care of it, or does not have green thumbs, or does not have enough space, can virtually design their own unique terrariums which fit their budgets, tastes, and places, or have it physically done by terrarium artists.

Customers can interact with newest technology such as virtual design software, 3D scanner, touchscreen, interactive wall… to design their own terrarium. They can either choose the available containers or their own containers (can be any recycled or reused glass container). They can also design it on their devices or through the store’s website, and have it made and shipped to their locations.

Design It Yourselfterrariums

When customers first walk through the door, there will be a gallery space which carries a wide range collection of terrariums and accessories. Customers will be friendly greeted and assisted by store employees to the needed area. After the gallery space, there will be interactive walls that customers can design their own terrariums, learn information about terrariums, and have a general idea of what the store is about. After the interactive wall space is the workshop space where customers can build the terrariums that they virtually designed in store with the assistance of terrarium knowledgeable experts. Customers will be guided step by step through the touch interactive screen table or by assistants. After finishing creating terrarium, each one will be 3D scanned and saved in customer’s profile, so that customers can log in the app just by taking picture of their terrarium, and it will be easier to get assistant through the phone since experts also have the view of the terrarium. Customers can also design the terrarium at home, then send the information to the store, and make appointment to build it in the store’s workshop.

The store offers a wide range of products (plant’s types, pots…) and accessories that are compatible with terrariums. We also offer free maintenance in the first year for nearby customers. We want to assure that all customers, regardless of terrarium knowledge level, leave the store happily and confidently. We want customers to feel that they always learn something new every time they visit the store and always want to come back.

Everyone is special and has their own stories, so does the object. We want customers bring their own stories into creating those meaningful and memorable terrariums, and use those newly made terrariums to be the triggers of new coming stories.

By creating a terrarium, your creativity and patient also will be improved. You will gain more knowledge, give more care and appreciation towards the nature.

The store is all about the terrarium. Therefore, I want customers to feel like they are walking into an actual terrarium and they are miniature human just like when people walk into an aquarium. The concept is cylinders terrarium that were vertically cut in half to be exposed and explored its internal landscape. This process will creat several semi cylinder spaces which yield the feeling of surrounding. Each space is the shelving system which display each element needed to create a terrarium in gallery space. Each green column’s role is playing as plant inside the terrarium.
