Sporting Life recently completed the largest renovation and expansion of its retail space since opening 25 years ago. Reich+Petch transformed 13,000 sqft of existing storage and office space into light-filled retail. Completed in seven months, the project’s fast-paced construction schedule was phased to keep the store operational. The new design is timeless, rustic and distinctly Canadian. Natural materials, tones and motifs are mixed with clean lines and a contemporary design. Reich+Petch is currently working with Sporting Life on the next phase of their Ontario expansion.

admin — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:30:49 +0000

Reich+Petch analyzed Shanghai Scienceland’s vast collection and developed a plan to store and display several thousand specimens ranging from insects to mammals. Displays are organized traditionally by class, but also allow for changing interpretation depending on educational and curatorial mandates. Storage units are constructed primarily of glass providing sealed cases with minimal air infiltration and vermin protection. This storage/display approach makes it easy for comparative analysis, one of the chief desires of the client.
