Hudson’s Bay is a Canadian department store that spread its wings to open nine new branches in the Netherlands in 2017.
Two of those are at the Rokin in Amsterdam and were the first Hudson Bay Company outlets to open outside of Canada. Both stores spanned 6 floors and were designed by Callison RTKL, in collaboration with Hudson’s Bay Global Design Team.
The store is significant for its redefinition of the department store experience in the Netherlands. By deliberately abandoning the concrete box and aisles often associated with department stores, the design purposefully presented a dynamic space for pop-ups and local brands, and integrated raw materials, original architectural features and extensive natural light into a bold, contemporary space.
The striking design of this building incorporated revolving doors at the front and back, which needed a security solution in-keeping with the exciting architecture, whilst still giving visibility to the merchandise and displays.
The Stackdoor Curved was the perfect solution to secure the revolving doors at night. Most security grilles would not have been able to accommodate the 5m x 5m curved openings, but the gentle curves of the stacking grille became part of the special architecture of this beautiful building.
Stackdoor is a lightweight system designed for maximum visibility without compromising security. The stack-and-pin technology allows up to 80% free visibility and airflow, with no unsightly head box as the stacking mechanism requires minimal space at the top and bottom of the curtain.
The grille system used in this project is a bespoke Stackdoor Curved product and demonstrates the ability of both the product and the installation team in the Netherlands, to deliver attractive, bespoke solutions for clients.
