Eslite Spectrum Xindian
Eslite Spectrum, one of Taiwan's leading cultural and lifestyle brands, was invited to open its largest store in Asia at Yulon City in Xindian - a major mixed-use redevelopment transforming a former industrial site into a new urban center. The interior sits within an existing retail shell, and the design's task was to give that space clarity of movement and an identity worthy of Eslite's cultural role.
The design turns circulation itself into the store's defining experience. A central arcade and branching corridors form a modern pilgrimage path, guiding visitors through the space with clarity and intention. These routes converge at a central atrium - a cathedral-inspired void rising four floors, where the Eslite Bookstore, the brand's spir... More

STREAM EYEWEAR STARFIELD VILLAGE UNJEONG
If eyewear in the past was consumed primarily for vision correction, today it has come to be recognized as a small fashion item that expresses one’s identity, shifting the direction of the eyewear market as a whole. Following Suwon, the second location—STREAM EYEWEAR Unjeong—breaks away from the conventional image of an “optical shop,” redefines STREAM’s brand presence, and unfolds with a narrative unique to Unjeong.

Ricardo Almeida Higienópolis
The project developed by Two Arquitetura for the Ricardo Almeida store at Shopping Pátio Higienópolis emerged as an extension of the concept created for Ricardo Almeida Studio at Cidade Matarazzo.

Two found in Ricardo Almeida's meticulous profile — recognized for the mathematical precision and impeccable symmetry of his bespoke suits — the conceptual foundation to translate the studio's language into a commercial environment.

XINHUA BOOKSTORE

This atrium is not only a circulation core but also an open and fluid platform that invites public engagement.

Faye's Parlour: Original
Faye’s Parlour is located in Changshu, Jiangsu—a satellite city near Suzhou and Shanghai that, despite its proximity to major urban centers, has long lacked a strong foundation for high-end retail. As a women’s fashion boutique, the project was designed as a strategic contrast: bringing top-tier design sensibilities and fashion-forward attitudes into a local market still in formation. The goal was to offer customers a sharp, contemporary spatial experience—without leaving their city.
