The reinvention of a famous fashion boutique in the busy centre of the city involves retaining the iconic arched facade of the heritage building while introducing a slew of neutral yet precise industrial materials and finishes to the interior. The cellular nature of the various rooms is contrasted by the organic flooring pattern that uses inlaid brass elements to flow from one room into the other, creating the feeling of one large common space with interesting nooks and moments.
