A NEW SHOP WITH CONCRETE STONE

Located in a shopping street between the center and the periphery of this large store is a typical architectural approach to the subject of construction of interior spaces for sale.

We then designed a device architecture, a real building that fits on the ground floor of a ten-storey building, featuring external façade through the use of large windows placed without interruption for the both the prospects of the store.

The entrance to the store, located on one side of the prospectus and the shop windows, on the side a little ordinary element,a wall of concrete is suspended on the front steps,engraved in the field of cement, the name of the store, this wall starts a large portal in concrete, the material itself, which contrasts with the permanent and provisional character of the commercial layouts.

This portal, canopy frame, is the measure of the depth of the shop through completely with its linearity and defining a path of internal distribution to various areas for sale.

Otherwise, at this store we wanted to create more interior architecture and decoration, our goal has been to the store to ensure a long life, which can remain current with the years.
