New Republic created a budget-conscious design for this interior fit-out of an historic storefront. This project established the small business owner’s second brick-and-mortar location for a family-friendly ice cream parlor. The location’s proximity to the public park and pool attracts both Pendleton locals and non-Pendleton residents for a year-round treat!
The design team solved for changes in floor elevation which presented challenges to complying with building code, and created a playful, colorful atmosphere through memorabilia and life-size figures. These fun pops of color contrasted with the simple, neutral backdrop and finishes in the space.
