The Korean retail giant’s Australian flagship is designed to be a destination for travellers.

Lotte’s flagship duty free store in Sydney offers greater options to purchase premium goods outside the busy airport setting. The three-level, 3,000sqm boutique shopping space has helped the Korean retail giant’s global business become Australia’s top duty free operator.

Clearly visible from the outside corner of Pitt and Market streets, a dramatic procession of large sculptural columns with integrated overlapping petal shaped canopies float above the various boutique cosmetic brand displays. These dynamic and uplifting elements not only unify the double height shell of the ground floor but lead the visitor on a journey through a retail experience enhanced by the latest integrated smart technologies.

The low-height space of the mezzanine with its detailed metal screening is synonymous with the fine craftsmanship of the luxury watches on display. The more intimate level’s darker terrazzo flooring with brass inlay provides a boutique environment that focuses on the timepieces in contrast to the brighter spaces of the ground floor.
