STIO

 

Jackson based outdoor apparel company Stio, teamed up with the team at A43, to design their biggest Mountain Studio to date.  The 2,488 sf tenant improvement is located on historic Main Street in Bozeman Montanna.

Stio goes to extraordinary lengths to produce beautiful and functional products. The challenge for this retail space was to let the product shine while still creating an inviting space filled with architectural elements and textures that embody the mountain town soul synonymous with the Stio Brand.

Working closely with Stio an architectural language and a materials palette were developed that complements the outdoor lifestyle that Stio promotes. The long narrow space is broken into three different zones by a custom maple clad cash wrap and trellis. The changing rooms feature a custom CNC machined tree pattern designed by the A43 Team.

For both Stio and A43 it was important that the project have a sense of place and a relationship to the surrounding community.  The space features a nod to an old Bozeman secret. Locals familiar with the historic Baxter Hotel and the Bridger Bowl Ski Resort will know the significance of the industrial blue pendant light hanging near the chairlift.
