The *Red Petal Retail Pavilion* draws inspiration from the form and allure of a flower petal, designed to attract visitors just like bees are drawn to flowers. This retail structure in Vancouver features *ALUCOBOND® PLUS* panels with a colour-shifting custom Rosy Starburst finish from the Spectra Collection, creating a captivating visual effect that changes with light and viewing angles. With 13,000 custom-fabricated *ALUCOBOND®* tiles, the structure stands out as a vibrant, dynamic element of urban design. *Design and Innovation* Perkins and Will’s design transformed the retail experience, using petals as a key design inspiration. The pavilion’s *ALUCOBOND®* panels exhibit stunning fluidity and reflection, thanks to the dynamic properties of the Spectra finish. The shifting hues as light changes give the structure a constantly evolving appearance, adding a sense of movement and life to the static form. The fabrication and installation of the complex geometry involved precise detailing and craftsmanship, ensuring each panel aligned perfectly to create the desired effect. The use of *ALUCOBOND® PLUS* not only provided aesthetic appeal but also ensured durability and weather resistance, critical for a public structure in Vancouver’s diverse climate. *Outcome* The Red Petal Pavilion has become a focal point, enhancing the retail environment and increasing foot traffic through its vibrant and inviting design. The project exemplifies how innovative design can create not just a functional retail space but a memorable architectural experience. The pavilion also targets LEED Gold certification, contributing to sustainability goals while achieving architectural excellence.
