loop optometry: san francisco
project details
Loop Optometry is a tenant improvement for a retail optometry shop at the ground floor of a new mixed-use residential building along San Francisco’s bustling 5th Street.
Loop’s program was broken up into two distinct elements: a retail space for the sale of eyewear, and an office for their optician functions. The high-volumed space at the front was a natural for the retail space, and to activate it, we opted for a large graphic mural of an abstract phoropter to catch the eye of passersby while reinforcing the small space’s verticality. To showcase the beauty and simplicity of the glasses, we designed very simple yet rustic wall cases and retail customer kiosks. Tucked away in the rear of the space we placed the more private, medical functions: the lab, office and exam rooms.
