The aim of this project was to build a retail space where different brands could co-exist and create an ongoing atmosphere, attractive and desirable for the youngsters, without sacrificing their individual identities. Placed in a former plumbing workshop, the general space is embraced by the grass panelled walls framed by indirect lighting, coming out from behind. The grass provides texture that contrasts with the smooth micro-cement flooring, which plays as a natural backdrop that allows the feature walls to draw the attention, highlighting the displayed pieces. Not only does the green grass allude to health and nature, it ensures a fresh and airy atmosphere, along with white high ceiling and the use of tobacco wood for costume made shelving boxes, as well. At the heart of the store, the fitting rooms form a centrepiece serving various functions from dividing the space into men´s and women´s areas to an attention-grabbing dramatic element. The massive mirror placed as a sliding barn door doubles visually the space while keeps hidden the entrance to the storeroom.
