Markville Mall
ISPA partnered with Indigo to evolve their award-winning flagship design into a scalable model. Through engineering precision and strong brand strategy, we made high design accessible at scale.
Scaling design excellence through technical prowess and trust.
After the success of The Well, Indigo asked ISPA to re-engineer its flagship concept for national rollout, without compromising design integrity. The goal: preserve the premium experience while reducing cost and complexity.
ISPA’s engineering and production teams collaborated to optimize materials, standardize systems, and simplify installation, all without sacrificing aesthetics.
The result? A refined, repeatable retail model that maintains the artistry of the original at a fraction of the cost.
