Sybarite

London-based practice Sybarite shapes experiential luxury retail spaces and department store concourses through atmospheric gradient lighting, subterranean light wells, and theatrical contrasts between raw structural elements and high-tech, polished surfaces. The portfolio offers a strong reference when detailing subterranean daylighting strategies, custom luminous backdrops, or sculptural glass and metal envelopes for immersive commercial environments.

Retail interior with a deep coffered waffle ceiling, glowing blue pylons, and stone-and-gravel display planters by Sybarite for SKP-S Beijing.

SKP-S Beijing

An interior retail precedent demonstrating the use of a deep coffered waffle ceiling and luminous structural pylons to organize a high-end department store floor.

What we like about this project
Delicate dried flora planted directly into indoor gravel beds contrast against the heavy industrial concrete waffle ceiling.

Geometry
Symmetrical open-plan retail layout organized beneath a rigorous square-grid waffle ceiling module.
Structural guess
Deep concrete waffle slab ceiling carrying long spans across the retail floor.
Spatial scale
Large commercial retail floor with expansive column-to-column spans and generous ceiling height.
Lighting
Diffused overhead grid illumination paired with intense internal glowing blue light from structural pylons and spotlights within individual shopfronts.
Atmosphere
Cool, cinematic, and otherworldly atmosphere driven by monolithic waffle grids and electric blue luminescence.
Environmental context
Indoor high-end luxury department store interior with multiple distinct retail concessions visible.
Spatial experience
A monumental open concourse that frames distinct brand boutiques through glowing vertical pylons and clear sightlines.
Composition rhythm
Rigid two-way orthogonal grid overhead reflected in the precise floor paving joints and modular display layouts.
