It was a rainy night in February when Michael presented to honor the 44th Annual RDI International Store Design competition. MNA, along with other top NYC firms, were invited to speak at the event presenting their insights and inspirations for their projects that were published in the RDI Stores of the Year No. 21.

Michael presented the MNA designed Ralph Lauren stores located in Hong Kong and Bangkok. Ralph Lauren Hong Kong received First Place for a Specialty Store, while Ralph Lauren Bangkok was awarded a Merit Award for a Specialty Store.

Ralph Lauren Hong Kong includes a bar, and Ralph Lauren Bangkok was a departure for Ralph Lauren with its undulating wood facade. It made quite an impression with its elegant staircase which connects the men’s and women’s levels at the Central Embassy, an upscale luxury shopping center.
