Canine Styles is a long-standing retail establishment that has served Manhattan’s Upper East Side since 1959 offering grooming and luxury pet apparel. The original outpost, located at 830 Lexington Avenue, was expanded to provide additional retail space. The building’s landmark status required approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission
The design of the expansion followed the initial design aesthetic established by the original store. The Owner’s mandate was to maximize every square inch of the new retail space to maximize merchandising opportunities. Custom millwork was designed to make strategic use of built ins and display areas. Matching fixtures and finishes were specified and source to provide a seamless aesthetic between the existing and new space. The existing store remained occupied for both shoppers and dog groomers throughout the construction.
