The Kettal Showroom in Coral Gables, Florida is designed to celebrate the objects on display. The simplicity of the design is one that says, ”come in and visit” giving the solution its strength. The transparency of the façade highlights the products on display. Its glass skin is only for containment of air conditioning, allowing light to wash the interior while maximizing the limited street “front” exposure to the outdoor furniture. The large, open showroom plan is gently articulated into three main areas, a response to the company’s three major furniture lines. Tilted walls and sloping ceilings towards “skylights” accentuate the “outdoor” qualities of the furniture displays. The Kettal showroom stands, among an unmemorable collection of retail storefronts, as a bold testament to the tenets of a vital and viable, modern tradition.
