Retail design sketches

Since I am developing the retail spaces of the building including the bookstore, art supply store, and maybe part of the fresh market (overlapping with the food service design), I made a few sketches, keeping in mind materials and big gestures to make the space interesting. I don't see either of these being used necessarily for these projects, as I was thinking about thesis when I drew the first one, but still can incorporate some of these big gestures, like the curving shapes stretching from the wall to the ceiling, and the curving shape on the ceiling in the lower one. The lower one is modified from a picture in a magazine, before I get some kind of copyright infrigment, so I am not taking credit for the design but am using it as more of a precedent study. I am working on some more sketches and will continue to develop these spaces as we start to divide up square footage of the building.
