Text description provided by architect.
The Koffka Flagship Store situated in Bandung City as a famous creative industrial clothing line. Attention to detail, inviting, giving new way of shopping experience.
We made a studied of the facade to invite people from a basic simple box with pull and push methods to create a new form that stands out from others.
Interior space with two different functions as a shop and storage defined by a partition. The form creates a space for both sides as a gestalt effect between positive and negative spaces. A curve gives more spaces and effective ways to share for both spaces.
The language of material gives a different way of shopping, introducing artificial green grass as a nostalgic to give a public space, giving people something unique, and a comfortable space to discuss what the best outfits to have.
White light, white floating furniture, and green grass creating a language of architecture as a cold, calm and the colorful products as a focus and accent like a playful grass with colorful toys.
Exposed fluorescence cool white fixed vertically giving a pattern on ceiling to create a depth. Mirror to reflect, continues space, giving illusions but doesn't introduce new material to keep the interior simple and sleek.Smart way to reduce the cost with simple and few materials with a very modest budget of US$4000.
