\n International is under construction and scheduled to open in November according to the owner, Luis Carrillo.<\/p>\n
Dwellings\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 two-level retail emporium anchors the second building at Millhouse, a destination shopping center that includes leading kitchen and home furnishings retailers on the Caribbean island. Millhouse is located just outside the town of Warrens, the fastest growing commercial area in Barbados.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We wanted to focus on the customer experience in the store,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Martin Roberts, president of GRID2, whose company conceived a prominent cooking- demonstration island to engage shoppers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 attention. Additionally, a 20- by 20-foot staircase at the store\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s core makes the upper floor accessible both physically and visually \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a design solution to a cramped stairwell at the store\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rear. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The idea in both cases is to whet the appetite for more,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d adds Roberts.<\/p>\n
After reviewing proposals from three design firms, Carrillo selected GRID2 for their progressive ideas and professionalism.<\/p>\n
A contemporary offering of kitchen, tabletop, home d\u00c3\u00a9cor and bed and bath items will reflect the island\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s colorful personality, says Carrillo of his new store. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like the Crate & Barrel of the islands,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he adds, which will target local and international residents owning upscale villas on the island.<\/p>\n
