Kanishka clothing and accessories brand store is located in the basement of a 9-story residential building in the center of Tashkent. The store has a regular layout with a lot of pipes and has no windows.
The house in which the store is located is built of precast concrete panels with massive sun protection structures.
Such brutal, modernist houses are typical for Tashkent and were massively built in the city in the second half of the twentieth century.
Tashkent is one of the centers of Soviet modernism and socialist realism.
The store has a regular layout with a lot of pipes and has no windows.The main idea was to transfer the architecture of modernist Tashkent to the interior of the store so that the exterior of the house and the interior of the store would look organic.
In the central part of the store, there is an accessory area and a checkout counter. On the left side of the store is the leather goods area, and on the right is the clothing area with a small courtyard.
The interior uses images of sun-protection structures, elements of monumental art, and mosaics. All interior elements are made exclusively of concrete and metal and decorated with mosaic panels.
