St. Clair West’s spacious floor plan allowed the team to utilise the cement and industrial fibreglass grates to produce Edition’s signature shelving and table centrepieces in a more expansive scale. The natural lighting entering the space acts as a spotlight for the curated cannabis products and accessories at the centre of the room.
StudioAC Founders, Jennifer Kudlats and Andrew Hill said hues, materials and details were replicated while making a clear attempt to differentiate through alternate articulation.
Utilising a simple 90° triangulation the industrial grating material becomes its own structure producing both bracing and support simultaneously. Ensuring that the ‘off the shelf’ spirit of the material was maintained square intersections allowed for simple connections and swift installation.
This geometric rigor was a welcome approach as it produced a strong aesthetic identity while maintaining the monochromatic backdrop desired to display a variety of retail items, said Kudlats and Hill.
The second location opened 24 March 2021 to the general public, located at 764 St. Clair West in the Wychwood-Cedarvale neighbourhood in Midtown Toronto, Ontario.
