R|5 Design Agency was retained by HEYA Wellness to design a cannabis dispensary concept in the Northwest suburbs of St. Louis. HEYA’s sophisticated, modern interior is a reflection of our client’s vision to create an inviting respite for their patients. Our holistic design functions more like a spa than just a retail boutique. This innovative design is thoughtfully realized in warm, natural accents and contemporary touches.

In contrast to the industrial location, the dispensary’s ambience is enhanced with layers of soft lighting and a dramatic color palette evoking warmth and comfort throughout. Green design elements add a fresh, inviting and comfortable aura to the atmosphere and imbue our space with a richer feel. A gesture of stenciled patterns marries well with existing “ground” concrete floor slab, adding texture and detail similar to aged terrazzo. This technique, as well as others are strategically located to graphically reinforce and echo HEYA’s brand messaging. Tastefully merchandised wall shelving and bespoke glass display cases allow patients to peruse the complete range of cannabis offerings.
A digital wall installation featuring iPads provides an educational venue to patients and allows them to explore a library of cannabis strains to best suit their needs. Mirrors and soothing colors anchor a private consultation room where patients can speak with employees in more detail about what they are looking for.
