the detox summerhill store
The shop at Summerhill is our 5th Detox Market shop. The existing building was originally a bank that had fallen into some disrepair. The decision was made to restore the space simply and then implement a similar language developed in previous shops but with a softer sensibility to complement the space and neighbourhood. White ash and stone were used but corners were softened with curves.
The programming of The Detox Market shops have grown more sophisticated, and in this shop, two completely private spa rooms were accommodated as well as multiple flexible display areas. A feature sink is incorporated into a display piece that can also serve as a workshop and demonstration table.

union station
The Detox Market is a retail brand specializing in green beauty, organic skin care, and natural make up, with locations in Los Angeles and Toronto. The Union Station retail store is located in the historic section of Union Station, in Toronto, and is a re-conception of the existing brand. The design of the store is inspired by the products and their inherent philosophy to be entirely natural. Naturally finished woods were chosen as the primary material backdrop upon which the different products are showcased. The formal expression of elements help curate different experiences within the store. The store is meant to be experienced slowly or quickly depending on the time one has to look, play, and learn about the products being sold. We have also designed a method of display for the range of different projects which seeks to unify different brands visually and facilitate the display and organization of a wide range of products. Each store location moving forward will share common elements while having their own characters.

LA store
The Detox Market in L A was designed to be a small, economically-minded and minimal shop. The feature display wall echoes some of the formal cues from the other shops we had designed earlier, using colours taken from some of their products.
