Unfolding across two floors, at the heart of the scheme is a meandering route that takes visitors through four ‘gardens’ delineated by sculptural elements that double as furnishings and displays. On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall dubbed the Pending Garden, is centred on a leaf-shaped display table that seems to hover above a rock garden consisting of asymmetrical limestone floor tiles punctuated by small boulders. Abundant natural light flooding in from large windows and views of the surrounding greenery enrich the spartan space.
A textured staircase leads visitors up to the first floor which is divided into three zones by curved partitions. First in line, the Meeting Garden is a circular area cantilevered above the ground floor with a kidney-shaped counter in the middle. In the adjacent Wandering Garden, the display areas increase in complexity, with a staggered configuration of organic-shaped surfaces in different heights. Designed to host large art installations and gatherings, the Lingering Garden is the more spacious of the three and incorporates a sculptural bar counter. Larger and smaller rectangular stone pavers bring the outdoors inside as do the chunky pieces of stone that interrupt the floor grid. The exposed concrete posts and beams add to the scheme’s textural tapestry whose tactile richness reflects the store’s hand-crafted products.
