Text description provided by the architects a high-end fashion retailer in The Netherlands has launched a new store that’s become a destination for fashion aficionados At a time when the world feels unpredictable and retailers dial up the stimulation and Insta-worthy backdrops Calico Club has taken cues from the Japanese zen masters to offer their customers more than exclusive brands—but an environment to nourish creative flow With such a loyal following, on-point fashion offering, and a desire to do retail differently, the owners selected an alluring location that’s off-the-beaten-track. Located in a village named Nistelrode in the south of the country, the store needed to offer an experience that’s well worth the journey. © Sarah WijzenbeekWorking with international interior design and architecture firm Barde vanVoltt, the team transformed the 100-year-old farmhouse store into a tranquil space that you can appreciate even more when you see it up close and in person. © Sarah WijzenbeekThe design philosophy is founded in contrast where Dutch heritage and Japanese tradition collide to form an unexpected expression. The floor plan is shaped like a Japanese zen garden and its traditional elements of rock, water, and plants have been interpreted in more modern and abstract ways. It showcases the best brands in a space unlike any other in a village you would not think of immediately An original retail experience that will transform you at first sight You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email an exclusive members-only club located in Nistelrode has invested in 15 E-Z-GO RXV ELiTE golf cars with Textron Fleet Management GPS (TFM GPS) Local dealer Van der Pols made the delivery Marcel Arts has been the general manager at the club for 13 years after starting his career as a chef at the golf club 25 years ago Commenting on the purchase of the new golf cars he said: “Our clientele is mainly business people and part of that is to have the latest technology and the best products available on the market but we make sure that the standard is first class “We chose the E-Z-GO ELiTE golf cars with TFM GPS because they allow us to offer premium services such as ordering food around the course which is delivered by one of our three butlers Players can also fill in scorecards and see maps of the course with all the information they could possibly need We are now able to protect the course by geo-fencing areas where we do not want the golf cars to go This obviously saves us time and money in repairs We no longer have to maintain the batteries;
