Project Info

Ocula, Arrowtown 

We embarked on a mission to transform the former hospitality and pop-up art store into a boutique optometrist that not only meets but exceeds Ocula’s unique market position.

Location

Arrowtown, New Zealand

Sector

Boutique Commercial

Client

Ocula

The vision was to create a space that showcases Ocula’s range of bespoke and handcrafted eyewear and reflects their ethos of providing high-quality, artisanal products. Large drapes were thoughtfully installed to envelop the space in a warm and inviting ambience, defining waiting areas and ensuring privacy during consultations. This attention to detail enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the store and creates a comfortable and intimate environment for visitors.

In addition to transforming the front-of-the-house boutique, the design and implementation of functional back-of-house work areas ensure smooth operations behind the scenes. The goal was to seamlessly integrate practicality with style, allowing staff to work efficiently while maintaining the elegance and sophistication of the space.

With a carefully curated selection of designers from around the world, Ocula offers a unique range of artisan glasses for those who seek to wear something truly unique. The result is a collection of eyewear that is as unique as you are. At CASA, we are proud to have played a part in bringing Ocula’s vision to life, creating a space that not only embodies their commitment to excellence but also provides a welcoming and refined experience for visitors in Arrowtown’s boutique district.
