Inspired by the brand identity as well as the mission "a flower season when she passes by will paint a spectacular picture like a fairy tale" Ksoul decided to transform the overall store into a giant flower in real life with two main colors green and pink that are both trendy and unique. If the first glance is attracted by the green flower named OLV dotted on the façade, stepping inside the store will give you the feeling of discovering layer with layer of peony petals at different corners, cashier counter, on ceilings designed by Ksoul with soft and graceful curves. Besides, it is not an exaggeration to say that the decision to choose the velvet effect paint is a brilliant strategy that makes the inside of the store sparkle with pride. Each stainless steel pole with a modern appearance is also carefully covered with super luxurious gold plating, meaning like an expensive pistil. Last but not least, the placement of the layout, the position of the display shelves, the mannequin added with light purposefully not only honors the beauty of the product but also contributes to create the comfort of the customer when shopping at OLV.

De kerk werd ontworpen door Alfred Tepe en was gereed in 1885. Het is een driebeukige kruisbasiliek met een achtzijdige vieringtoren, die uniek is in Tepe’s werk, en een vijfkantig koor. Terwijl het overige werk van Tepe volledig in neogotische stijl is, paste hij hier eenmalig bouwelementen uit de romaanse architectuur toe, zoals de boogfriezen en de ronde vensters van de lichtbeuk. De vieringtoren is geïnspireerd op kerkjes uit de Ardennen. De vensters zijn in de loop der tijd allemaal vervangen door glas in lood. Dit raam is geplaatst in de kaarsen-/gebedskapel. Foto: G.J.

In Buffalo, we humbly celebrate – wait, strike that – we flat out brag about our architecture, boasting buildings from likes of Louis Sullivan, H.H. Richardson, and that Frank Lloyd Wright guy. Rightfully so, those structures, in all their revolutionary magnificence, deserve the notoriety. But they sometimes overshadow the steeples, domes and bell towers of our churches that are just as awe-inspiring. Let me tell you, I’ve visited some of the world’s greatest churches: St. Patrick’s in New York City, Notre Dame in Paris, St. Paul’s in London, St. Mark’s in Venice, and of course St. Peter’s at the Vatican. You wouldn’t think to include a church just minutes from Buffalo, New York in the same sentence as any of the aforementioned, but I will. Let me introduce you to Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna. While construction began on the church only 100 years ago, and finished in 1925, stepping inside can take you back centuries. Hand paintings adorn the walls and dome ceilings, hand sculpted marble statues line the perimeters, hand carved African mahogany was turned into rows of pews. I think you get the point here – it’s artistic mastery. What I found almost as remarkable was that skilled work was done in Buffalo. One story our tour guide shared was about the disbelief of visitors that the stained glass windows weren’t created in Italy or somewhere in Europe. Otto F. Andrle Stained Glass in Buffalo was responsible for them all, and proved their origin by laying out the blueprints for each right within the church for everyone to see. For anyone with an appreciation of architectural and artistic beauty, a visit and a tour is a must. And if you happen to be Catholic or Christian – it doesn’t get much better. Beyond OLV’s beauty, it is also the final resting place of Venerable Nelson Baker. Tours are held after the noon mass every Sunday (as well as by appointment). Our Lady of Victory Basilica is currently in the midst of their Centennial Celebration over the next five years. With special programming, tours and events, it’s the perfect time to visit OLV Basilica.
