The Dou Dou children’s clothing store is located in Milano Marittima, a city in the province of Ravenna. The intervention is an extension of the existing store. The central pillar has been hidden by a large volume a “children’s house”, a metal carpentry structure covered in plasterboard and finished with a green color, whose pastel tone recalls the world of childhood.

Entering on the right there is a long display shelf, recovered from the original store, at the center are tables for the display of folded clothing, and towards the end is the cash register. The composition is held together by a burnished sheet metal paneling, the material of the original shelving.

The DouDou brand behind the cash register is made of brass. The Cash register is covered in sheet metal towards the customers whereas the operative side is in MDF. Continuing around the “children’s house” we find the hanger for garments for bigger kids, consisting of tubular profiles in burnished iron.

A light is recessed in the hanging profile. In front of the hangers, a metal staircase rises inside the “children’s house”. Next to the stair is a dressing room, dug out of the volume of the house itself and hidden by a linen curtain. A second reclaimed shelf runs through the entire left side of the shop.

The oak wood floor of the original store has been maintained, while in the new extension the floor is resin with a concrete finish. The walls have been painted a dark brown, along with the lowered ceiling that hides the concrete beams of the existing building structure.
