Fashionstore

The building which houses the store has no architectural interest and needs maintenance. It does however have a clear structural grid, 22 meters of facade and an unused backyard.

It was decided to make a sculptural wall of white concrete made up of prefab panels which reflects the fabrics used in the clothes themselves. These panels keep clear from the walls and ceiling, as well as from the concrete structure The sculptural wall meanders through the store and forms the display windows. The voids are vistas into the shop itself. The floor is made up from Thassos marble 0.9x1.8m and the wall which houses the register and changing rooms is made from pressed stainless steel 1.5mx3m.

The backyard is lifted to the same height as the groundfloor and is given the same historical basalt pavement as the streets surrounding the store.
