Located in Nassau Bahamas, Uniquely Bahamian sells locally made arts & crafts, goods and jewelry. Uniquely Bahamian has several stores on the island and wanted to open a store at the new resort development Baha Mar. The project asked for 3 different concepts varying between high end modern and high end island styles while providing storage areas, point of sale, display areas and jewelry cases.

Concept 1 focused on a luxurious zen approach combining simply niched walls for merchandise with a curved wooden ceiling and water feature.

Concept 2 focused on the beauties of the ocean by providing the space with a seaglass ceiling design, limestone tiling with accents and the same simply niched walls.

Concept 3’s focus was on the Bahamas with its coral patterned ceiling casting underwater like shadows and the use of beige tile with colorful accents bringing the Bahamian love for colors to the space. The walls had movable tinted glass shelving for the merchandise.
