With a view to use this floor flooring as a spot for individuals to freely come and go, we added extra voids and highlighted the pilotis as a lot as attainable. Each side of the building are clad in glass so that individuals strolling on the streets on the south and north sides can see one another.

We determined to find the Freitag retailer, which requires an ample inside house and wall storage, on the second flooring, as a result of we thought that those that would go to this place would absolutely go as much as the second flooring if they’re curious to see it. About half of the second flooring was beforehand used as a terrace seating space for Burger King.

The considerably frivolous pop design of the ’80’s evoked a way of nostalgia. Contemplating the truth that Freitag’s merchandise are created from recycled truck tops, seat belts, bicycle tire tubes, automotive airbags and so forth, it made sense to combine the nostalgic and pop house with the brand new retailer house as if making a collage. A semi-outdoor bar was positioned on the boundary between the terrace and the inside, permitting the terrace to come back alive and develop into a part of the shop.
