  1. Lukstudio designed the Beijing Nikon Direct Store located at the Taikoo Li Sanlitun South Zone mall. - Wen Studio
  2. The newly imagined interior and reimagined façade harness the technology and aesthetics of cameras, and highlight light – an integral aspect of photography. - Wen Studio
  3. Subtle photography inferences punctuate the store using materials of different characteristics like corrugated metal, faux-stone, polycarbonate panel and bamboo. - Wen Studio
  4. At the entrance, a round stand marked with a metal cross resembles a camera’s focus. - Wen Studio
  5. . A circular atrium anchors the core of the interior, where the site’s 8-m high ceilings are visible. - Wen Studio
  6. Sinuous walls finished in textured beige paint create a cavernous effect in the space. - Wen Studio
  7. Bamboo chamfered windows extend outward like camera viewfinders, capturing frames of the surrounding environment. - Wen Studio
  8. The floor is paved with recycled bricks from locally demolished buildings. - Wen Studio
  9. A mezzanine level, made of glass and stainless-steel skywalks with polycarbonate panels, introduces daylight in the space. - Wen Studio
