Hanoia Flahship Store

Ten years after designing Hanoia’s first boutiques in Vietnam, G8A Architects was invited to imagine an entirely new concept for the brand’s flagship store — a bold reinterpretation that reflects both its evolution and its deep cultural roots. Located in the prestigious Press Club building, in the heart of Hanoi’s historic and elegant quarter, this new space had to mark a turning point. Hanoia The design draws inspiration from the poetic process of lacquer-making, in which layers are built up one by one, over time, to reveal depth and richness. This idea of layering became the guiding architectural metaphor: a series of curved, terraced platforms gently rise from the ground, creating a flowing landscape on whic... More

Yoozoo Pánuco

Yoozoo is a contemporary bubble tea shop located in a colonial building, thoughtfully designed to offer a unique sensory journey. The contrast between the historic architecture and the minimalist intervention is accentuated by a softly lit polycarbonate tunnel that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Caption  Although compact, the space becomes a stage where modern aesthetics and functionality converge. From the street, its discreet façade stands out for its clean and orderly design, animated by a vibrant sign that attracts passers-by and invites them to discover what lies inside. Zaickz Moz    The tunnel itself is the heart of the establishment, here, customers are invited to intera... More

Artknit Studios Milan Store

Slow living | Warmness | High quality | Wellness | Domestic | Digital: these are the key words that leeded the development of the concept for the Artknit Studios flagship stores.  Federico Torra Few custom-made elements for an understated, minimalist layout, as are the garments of the Artknit Studios collection: a neutral box on a wool fiber rug in natural tones (Besana), enriched by the oak wood of the panels that hide the storage compartments (and of which the drawers and perimeter shelves are also made), by the Artknit Studios organic fabric closing off the dressing rooms, and by a metal mesh structure, with laminate and mirror storage cabinets, that becomes the core element of the space.  Federico Torra In the Mila...

[Task Note]Sadly, space designers don’t have much authority in choosing space. We must complete the task of removing weed and build its own place from ruined spaces. When we tear down the wall and dig through the floor, we reveal the sedimentary layers of the finishing materials as if they were solid time, and in the end, you have to remove them all and fill them up clean to carry out architectural work.  Sunghoon Han We treat this with great care as if we don't damage the traces of an imperfect past, and preserve them like historic sites, turning a blind eye to the aesthetics of perfection, and finally uncovering the traces of time. Sunghoon Han [The Poetry of Ruins]'These crude, imperfect properties found to have re... More

Immi Flagship Store

<Red> The birth of a brand. The manufacturing of products. The stories told by Joyce, a designer who has finally stepped out into the world after years of incubation, became the key to conceptualizing the overall context for her store space. I thought about her passion and how it was able to manifest as a brand producing a series of vibrant products, and that made me associate her with a womb, the origin of new life and birth. The womb here should be understood as a description rooted in maternal instincts and not simply as the meaning or value of biological birth. Inside the womb, where identity and ultimate physicality are bestowed, endless possibilities meet maternal instincts to create an absolute being. The unrealistically d... More

MVRDV strips 19th-century Haussmann style building and adds a glass floor to reveal its internal beauty

MVRDV completed the new flagship store for French lingerie brand Etam, located on Boulevard Haussmann directly across from the Galeries Lafayette department store. Inspired by the lingerie on display the architects wanted to make the store both revealing and intimate.  Ossip van Duivenbode MVRDV wanted to highlight the building’s clean classical appearance by stripping back the exterior as much as possible. The same approach was continued indoors by removing a part of the entresol floor and inserting a glass floor. The transparency reveals the original stone structure and allows natural light to flood the basement level.   Ossip van Duivenbode The glass floor grants visitors to see products and people above or be...

Herzog & de Meuron reveal functional beauty and new spatial possibilities at Uniqlo Tokyo flagship store

First constructed in 1984, the building was modeled on a large-scale Parisian-style department store, with multiple stores within the same structure. Suspended ceilings of a s... More
