2024 Best of Year Winner for Retail
The flagship location of DJI, one of the foremost producers of camera drones and stabilizers, obviously had to incorporate a test-flight park. The landscaped grounds of this 43,000-square-foot renovated store by Various Associates, now has a spectacular one dubbed the DJI Oasis, with ramps traversing soft lawns that also sprout artful drone-control towers. For the new interior in Shenzen, China, a metal-slat skin traces the building’s irregular pyramidal form, simultaneously emphasizing the dynamic structure and providing solar shading. The four floors offer sci-fi-esque zones for sales, product experiences, customer support, and training, while a grand staircase twists and turns on its way to an alfresco viewing platform on the second floor—a prime spot for watching drones at play.
