Level Up - Scottsdale, Ariz.

THE HIGH ROAD DESIGN STUDIO, TEMPE, ARIZ.
cottsdale, Ariz.'s state-licensed
medical cannabis dispensary, Level Up,
sought to provide its patients with an
upscale marijuana retail experience that stood
apart from its competitors. To create an intimate yet energetic environment capable of
accommodating a high volume of customers,
the retailer tapped The High Road Design Studio (Tempe, Ariz.) to conceptualize the interior.
Taking over a former office space, the
3500-square foot store was divided into several
zones, including a retail space, a waiting area,
a discreet lobby and plenty of back-of-house
space for the merchant's business operations.
A traditional residential aesthetic was specified
to appeal to the area's affluent clientele.
Five product cases accommodate two "budtenders" each, who can individually serve customers at once. "Each budtender can display

and consult and show, all from the same spot,
without having to move or waste any time or
be inefficient in any way," says Megan Stone,
owner, interior designer, The High Road Design
Studio.
The store's lighting was another important
detail to consider, says Stone. Utilizing ambient
natural lighting was important, but its ultraviolet rays had the potential to damage the cannabis flowers. Ultimately, waiting and common
areas were placed around the perimeter windows to provide a barrier, and product zones
were illuminated with artificial light.
"Dispensaries are changing as the category
matures. They have some of the same challenges and complexities as the eyewear category, which I'm very familiar with," said VMSD
judge Zengel. "They've done a lot to reinvent an
experience," added Bosserman.
