The Schuster Perfoming Arts Center in downtown Dayton Ohio is the premier presenter and host for ats, culture and entertainment in this region. The store, located off of an impressive 6 story glass atrium spanning an entire city block designed by famed arhcitiect Cesar Pelli, is a busy pass through for business proffesionals and vistors. The design goal was to integrate with the existing architecture, particularly the shoji screen style sliding doors at our storefront. The palette was kept neutral, using white oak and light paint colors. The interior screens reveal a merch display, a lean on counter, a wordmark logo, and a coffee landscape photo printed on wood veneer
