Amid the calm corridors of a maternity hospital, Lavish by Office 313 emerges as an unexpected composition of warmth and indulgence. Conceived as a micro architecture of calm luxury, the boutique reinterprets the act of chocolate buying into a sensory experience where tactility, light, and proportion invite a moment of pause within a clinical environment.
Lavish occupies a modest footprint, yet its spatial language feels expansive. The design begins with a continuous frame that defines the boutique’s perimeter, its curved geometry guiding movement while maintaining openness to the surrounding corridor. This threshold instantly signals a shift in atmosphere, from sterile to sensorial, from public to personal.
Office 313 imagined the shop as a spatial confection, its architecture unfolding with the same precision and layering as a handmade truffle. The rhythm of vertical grooves, the soft terracotta tones, and the warmth of locally sourced brick form a dialogue between discipline and delight. Every line, surface, and joint was refined to evoke a quiet sense of craftsmanship that rewards closeness and attention.
The interior is structured around a central guiding axis, both literal and atmospheric. It connects the entrance seating niche, display counters, and rear shelving wall, creating a seamless procession that feels orchestrated rather than arranged.
This axis was intentionally designed to ensure maximum visibility and spatial coherence in response to an oddly placed structural column located in the middle of the entrance. Instead of treating the column as an obstacle, the design absorbs it into the architectural composition. Through a careful play of geometry, proportion, and material continuity, the column is smartly concealed and now appears as a natural part of the boutique’s rhythm. What was once a visual interruption has become an invisible anchor that strengthens the spatial order.
Above, a suspended ceiling beam in warm timber visually traces this axis. Integrated lighting lines and spherical pendants punctuate it, balancing directionality with softness. The beam’s geometry mirrors the counters below, creating a gentle symmetry that envelops the visitor without enclosure.
Materiality becomes the main narrative device. The boutique’s modular plaster and brick blocks, their ribbed texture recalling stacked chocolate wafers, form the defining surface language. These are offset by bands of polished wood and terrazzo flooring that grounds the space in tactile contrast.
The countertops, with their rounded corners and seamless joints, evoke a sense of handcrafted precision. Behind them, the shelving system alternates between open and recessed niches framed in softly curved timber, creating depth and visual rhythm. The repetition of box like volumes, a motif referencing chocolate packaging, introduces playful geometry within an otherwise restrained composition.
Light in Lavish is never decorative; it is orchestrated as mood. Concealed LED strips produce a diffused luminescence that accentuates texture rather than glare. Suspended globe pendants hover at human scale, echoing the roundness of confectionery while emitting a gentle radiance that warms the surrounding material palette.
Every lighting element was carefully positioned to enhance visibility without overpowering the intimacy of the interior. The result is a consistent and balanced atmosphere that remains calm and inviting at all times.
The project’s location within a maternity hospital adds a rare emotional register. Here, architecture needed to speak not only of brand identity but of empathy. The design’s calm tonality and restrained detailing are deliberate counterpoints to the anxiety and sterility often associated with healthcare environments.
Lavish thus operates as an architectural interlude, a place of sensory comfort for patients, visitors, and staff alike. Its materials invite touch, its lighting soothes, and its geometry slows the pace. The boutique is not merely a point of sale, but a spatial gesture of care, transforming a corridor corner into a space of repose.
True to Office 313’s ethos, Lavish was developed through iterative modular design. Each block, groove, and joint was proportioned to allow seamless repetition and adaptability across corners and junctions. The shop’s visual coherence arises from this disciplined grid, a quiet structure beneath the fluid forms.
In the detailed execution, craftsmanship becomes visible in the precise alignment of ribbed tiles, the hand finished joinery, and the curved transitions where wood and locally sourced brick meet. The result is a language of contemporary craft that is both technical and humane.
Rather than relying on overt branding, the boutique’s identity is embedded within its architecture. The illuminated Lavish sign suspended above the entrance acts less as advertisement and more as a welcoming gesture, its warm glow echoing the interior palette. Every spatial element, from the proportions of the shelving to the curvature of the corners, extends the brand’s ethos of understated luxury and sensory depth.
Office 313’s design transforms chocolate retail into an architectural narrative about comfort, elegance, and the beauty of small gestures. The project exemplifies the studio’s continued exploration of how modularity, material honesty, and proportion can yield intimacy within commercial design.
Ultimately, Lavish demonstrates how thoughtful design can humanize the most unexpected contexts. In a place devoted to healing and beginnings, the boutique offers quiet celebration, a reminder that even the smallest spaces can carry emotional weight when crafted with intention. It blurs the boundaries between architecture, brand, and emotion, proving that luxury can exist not in excess, but in empathy and precision.
