All those little lights shinning in the dark, showing us the way, tracing a path to take... A bright light comes to one spot, highlighting dresses that start to show, floating in the air like there’s nobody else. . .
The Adaptive Reuse of the Newport Congregational Church into a Bridal Shop is inspired by the 1950’s boutique concept and its transformation from little hidden treasures to unique and spectacular places filled with architectural moments. The proposal is defined as a “soft intervention” that brings new life to the space by introducing different layers of lighting (floor, nave, balcony) with the intention of highlighting the pieces on display (acrylic boxes, floating dresses, hanging fabrics) and, bringing the attention back to LaFarge which is the ultimate goal of this project . Creating multiple experiences through the play of light and color.
