Bodega

A run of temporary retail activations gave Bodega a real spatial identity at ComplexCon LA, ComplexCon Shanghai, Art Basel Miami, and beyond.

Existing-condition surveys, venue constraints, and full finish/fixture packages were produced across a run of temporary retail activations, each carried from concept through construction-ready detail and built on the floor at major culture and streetwear events.

Outcome

Multiple built, temporary retail activations (including ComplexCon LA, ComplexCon Shanghai, and Art Basel Miami), each carried from concept through construction-ready detail and installed on site.

The same corner-store identity rebuilt as a complete event footprint.

The repeatable activation

One identity, rebuilt on event time.

Bodega’s corner-store identity had to survive translation into a different convention or fair footprint at every stop. Each activation began with circulation, occupancy, accessibility, and venue constraints, then used axonometric studies and renderings to adapt the shelving, checkout, and signage. Plans, elevations, finish schedules, fixture specs, and 3D models closed the work for install crews at ComplexCon LA, ComplexCon Shanghai, Art Basel Miami, and beyond. The identity stayed recognizable because the delivery system could change with the venue.

An activation-wide rendering coordinated storefronts, fixtures, circulation, and venue conditions.

Art Basel Miami carried the identity into a different fair-floor format.

Read the venue as found

Circulation, occupancy, accessibility, and venue-specific constraints were documented before any design move, activation to activation.

Carry the identity across sites

Renderings and axonometric studies translated Bodega's spatial logic into ComplexCon and Art Basel footprints alike.

Build it on event time

Plans, elevations, fixture schedules, and detail sheets closed each activation to production-ready fidelity on install-crew timelines.
