The challenge
Purolator needed a fast, frictionless way for people to pick up and drop off packages during the busy holiday season. The goal was to design a "quick stop" that felt like an interactive and memorable part of the stackt market — not just a standard shipping kiosk dropped into the space.
Purolator needed a fast, frictionless way for people to pick up and drop off packages during the busy holiday season. The goal was to design a "quick stop" that felt like an interactive and memorable part of the stackt market — not just a standard shipping kiosk dropped into the space.
The Solution
The structure was built by joining two shipping containers and removing the middle wall, creating a wide, and open floor plan. The layout was divided into two clear zones: a bright, Instagram-worthy front-of-house designed to draw attention and invite social sharing, and a dedicated back-of-house that kept packages organized and out of sight.
