VICTORIA’S SECRET
Overview
Victoria’s Secret Beauty and Accessories (VSBA) is referred to as “the concept that can travel well and leads the Victoria’s Secret brand into other parts of the world.” Not only has VSBA allowed Limited Brands to introduce the Victoria’s Secret brand internationally, but perhaps even more importantly, it has allowed them to gain experience with expansion through partnerships and franchising. archateliê partnered with VS appointed Architect & Engineering teams to provide architectural services for projects in Europe.
HIGHLIGHTS
archateliê collaborated with the European Real Estate Developer and their local Architectural and Engineering teams. Victoria Secrets’ existing construction documents template is largely geared towards U.S. projects. The challenge for our team was to identify key elements in the template such as construction materials, methodologies, assemblies, details, codes etc. that would differ between geographies. At the same time ensuring the overall look of the design intent was preserved. We worked closely with the local architects and engineers for Mall of Scandinavia , Stockholm to develop such a template in addition to providing construction documents for the project. While the core documents were all based on an AutoCad template, our team proactively built a BIM model simultaneously to enable better coordination with SMEP. We would have weekly calls with the teams in Europe, regular model and file exchanges and clash detection analysis to ensure less RFI’s during construction.
