Exterior panels appear to gradually fan out of this corner location, catching the eye of the many pedestrians at this intersection. Interior sightlines allow customers to see nearly the entire store in one view. A multi-angled ceiling brings the customer around the space with shimmering coffers that highlight the Reserve Bar. The space ends with a restful but dynamic library lounge.
