Purchasing cannabis from Seaweed Outpost
There are over 4,600 islands off the coast of Maine and with this project architects MAAM added a handful more. Inspired by the local geography, the display tables were conceived as floating “islands” with their very own unique topographies.
SEAWEED OUTPOST is the sister showroom to the SeaWeed flagship location located in a strip mall. The retail space was as a retreat from the familiar and mall exterior by incorporating handmade finishes and spacious interiors.
As one of the first legal dispensaries in Portland, Maine, the design team sought to create an accessible and welcoming environment for a discerning clientele. Using iconic and instantly recognisable elements from residential design —like the kitchen island, built-in hutch, Parsons table and soft furnishings which demystify the experience of purchasing cannabis and create a place where guests can appreciate the finer qualities of the lovingly-cultivated product on view set within layers of custom millwork, wood end block, Zellige Tiles, polished concrete floors, and plentiful plants.
