BOON the shop - Seoul, Korea (2000)

Designed by LOT-EK Architects 

“Ribbons of translucent fiberglass are designed to transform the raw concrete space of a designer retail store. Supported by steel pipe frames, the ribbons appear to float between floor and ceiling – providing aesthetically pleasing light while also providing functional purposes for the commercial renovation. The ribbon panels are contoured to create two indentations. As the panels are repeated to generate the ribbon, these indentations generate two continuous grooves; a lower one for shoes and a larger upper one for boots, bags and other accessories. Rolling walls made out of the same panels are plugged into such grooves (like tracks). The rolling walls are used to break up the space on both floors, to create individual bags for each designer on the lower floor and two distinct exhibition areas on the ground floor. The ribbon glows with fluorescent flight produced by fluorescent tubes attached to the rear of each fiberglass panel. Different color gels can be installed around the fluorescent tubes to change the color of part or of the whole environment.”

Natural Ellipse House - Masaki Endoh + Ikeda Masahiro (Built 1999-2002)

Location: Shibuya, Tokyo JP 

“The elliptical toroid form of Natural Ellipse is very much a product of its unique environment. Wedged into the most vibrant shopping and entertainment district in Tokyo, the building acknowledges the conflict between the desire for privacy and the need to connect with the lively surrounding neighborhood. The result is a mostly introverted structure with a few carefully placed openings to the outside, allowing the privacy necessary for domestic life.”

Club Sugar - Santa Monica, CA (1999)

Designed by John Friedman-Alice Kimm Architects
