BEST BUY TECH HOME – DESIGNED AND BUILT BY CHANDLER

Best Buy was looking to create a real home experience that would allow their customers to see smart products in use and gain a greater understanding of how connected devices work in a home.

Chandler’s Creative Director, Jeremiah Albrecht,
designed the Best Buy Tech Home with an open air design. This type of design allowed visitors to catch glimpses of the home from anywhere outside the structure; while the design also offered a guided path through the home; with each room giving the customer an informative story that related to their everyday needs. This design allowed for an open and inviting space for customers to play and learn about the variety of smart products available at any Best Buy.

Best Buy Tech Home offered a hands-on display of all things smart home, seamlessly connecting devices and appliances in a kitchen, living room, bedroom, office space and entryway. It includes top options for Wi-Fi, security, comfort and organization — including gadgets from Samsung SmartThings, NETGEAR, Canon, Philips Hue, Qualcomm Technologies and more.

The Best Buy Tech Home was on display at the Mall of America from Aug. 22 – Sept. 17, 2016. After the event closed, Chandler dismantled the home and reassembled it in the North Point Mall in Atlanta, where it was open until Fri. Oct. 14, 2016. Stay tuned to find out where the Tech Home will head next!

TAKE A TOUR OF THE BEST BUY TECH HOME

The open look allowed shoppers to see into the home from multiple floor levels, otherwise known as the peek a boo affect. Seeing activity and engagement drew in the crowd. Tall grass was used to create a more intimate outdoor feel while sitting in the middle of a mall. From the front, a semi-open slat wall allowed shoppers to get a glimpse of what’s inside.

The guided path, through the home, helped to define each experience in a sequential order. It’s time you went on a smart home tour. Let the Best Buy Tech Home be your guide.
