Project Overview
Approached by Atelier X, we were invited to be the general contractor of Aesop’s Larchmont location. A combination of sleek aesthetics and organic materials, to be an integral part of a build for such a global brand was an incredible honor.
The Client’s Vision
Working alongside Aesop’s in-house design team, our brief detailed the usage of raw materials in a sleek manner. Emblematic of Aesop’s brand, this marriage of sophisticated design with organic material was essential to nail in order to create a location that would meet the brand’s vision.
The MODAA Approach
- Vendor Collaboration: To ensure that the build consisted of raw materials, we communicated with many of our vendors and sub contractors to ensure that much of the concrete and wood we used was left in as natural of a state as possible.
- Approachable Communication: Though Aesop is a global brand, communicating with our partners was seamless. To a degree, the build felt more tight knit and familial, allowing all parties involved to communicate clearly, honestly, and warmly.
- Aesop’s Quintessential Touch: With the help of an incredibly communicative team and our collaboration with vendors, Aesop’s Larchmont location came to life.
The Experience
Needless to say, this build was incredibly efficient and seamless. From start to finish this build encountered zero obstacles and was finished earlier than expected. Not enough can be said to emphasize our gratitude to Aesop and to Atelier X.
What Really Matters
This experience was a reminder that assembling the correct team for a project is essential to the success of a build. Every aspect of a build is collaborative by nature and as such, creating a team that is not only comfortable but proactive ensures an idyllic experience. At its heart, this build was one where boutique level care worked in tandem with superior craftsmanship.
