Verde Republic is not a new store; it is a new society, a society based first and foremost on the celebration of nature and the natural healing qualities of cannabis. For this reason, we will conceptualize the Verde Republic spaces as institutional buildings wherein nature is revealed as the societal ideal through a spatial play of the natural world being revealed through the built world. In a word, Verde Republic will offer spaces that are a hybrid between gardens and buildings. This design strategy will focus on creating an experience that allows clients to more directly interface with the natural world and will accentuate that the work of Verde Republic is to construct a new society where the natural lifestyle can flourish.
