theleisureway was invited to collaborate in their expansion project, River West Open Experience, a new lifestyle proposal with the creation of an open-air pedestrian promenade that acts as the backbone for the new shopping, catering, and family leisure areas.

Inspiration and First Ideas

Moustakas toy store is a two-storey store located in the new expansion area of the shopping centre. The challenge was to create a fun connection between the two levels of this flagship store, creating a wow effect for all visitors.

The concept is based on the integration of a slide and a wavy ramp into a wooden ramp. The combination of textures, shapes and activity gives the store entrance a spectacular and elegant look for both children and adults.

Solution

We created a fun connection between the two levels at the main entrance hall, creating a wow effect for all visitors. The design is based on two slides integrated into a wood ramp. The combination of textures, shapes and activity gives the store entrance a spectacular and elegant look for the customers.
