At Reem Mall, Abu Dhabi, Altavia ODG partnered with Marina Home to create a 2,260 sqm flagship store that redefines retail with industrial-contemporary aesthetics, seamless category integration, and an inviting in-store experience.
Context
While looking to evolve its retail concept, Marina Home also needed to preserve its industrial-modern DNA. Introducing new product categories and its first-ever café in a way that felt intentional, not imposed—expanding the brand’s lifestyle offering while maintaining its signature aesthetic—was the motor of this ambitious project.
Our Ambition
To craft a flagship that feels like more than a store—an inviting, layered space where retail, design, and hospitality converge seamlessly, inspiring customers wherever they look.
Our approach
An architectural retail statement balancing industrial edge with warm hospitality.
Altavia ODG designed a space that balances raw materiality with thoughtful functionality, ensuring every element serves both form and purpose. Key design choices included:
- Adaptive Store Layout: Modular partitions allow for fluid, ever-changing displays, keeping the store in a constant state of dynamic renewal.
- Café as a Social Anchor: A wood-clad café creates a warm ambiance, acting as both a central gathering space and a natural extension of the brand’s lifestyle positioning.
- Patios That Invite Pause: Lush, light-filled conservatories introduce a sense of openness and encourage visitors to slow down and enjoy their surroundings.
- Integrated Category Expansion: The addition of Sleep and Bath collections is executed through distinct yet harmonious “store-within-a-store” sections, reinforcing curation and discovery.
