The new shop is built within a building from the 80 's. The city council only allowed minor remold the appearance of the building because of the restrictions on the construction of the original building. However, based on the commercial considerations to the client subject, we had to remold the inside of the window, and create a space between building façade and entrance, that we pushed back 3 meters from the original entry point to create a two-story structured “Canyon”. We searched for abandoned or discarded material, a red clay brick, in the 60-80-year period surrounding the construction area. And modernized the material by building a three-dimensional distinctive canyon.The traditional rectangular window of the original building is projected into the canyon, the curved canyon side wall delicately penetrates route of light, while the window of the interior wall uses a more contemporary way of segmentation, which leads the light route into store. Today, our city faces a large number of old building renovation, which, in addition to being a architectural subject, but also brings interesting impacts in business. We hope that the energy generated by this collision itself attracts consumers to more rationally observe the new and old, but also understand the inheritance and contradictions. In the canyon, we created a 10-metre-high lumination fixture that draws people's attention to the commercial space on the second floor.
