THE DESIGN of the store front dramatizes both levels. The staircase, which leads to fitting rooms and space for future expansion, instead of being unobtrusive, is a dominant feature of the interior. The suit department in the rear of the store is raised slightly and a soffit is introduced to create a clearcut space division and a more intimate sales atmosphere. A fireplace and controlled lighting in this area heighten the personal effect desired by the owner.
