Question
Push
The team spent time in the space studying the original structure of the building and as part of the strip out discovered many original features. These were then re-crafted in to modern day interpretations and sown in to the fabric of the space. Working closely with Visplay the retail system allowed the store to be extremely flexible to account for changing products, brands, trends and collaborations.
Change
