01

A corner presence on Madison. The facade reads as a single gesture — black metal, clean glass, the name set in compressed type above the entry. The door is heavy. The threshold is intentional.

Facade: powder-coated steel frame, 12mm laminated glass. Signage: brushed aluminum, matte black lacquer.

Interior — retail floor
02 Interior, ground floor. Waxed oak shelving, matte black hanging rails. Concrete screed underfoot, polished to a low sheen.
