The design challenge is to renovate a space located in a residential neighbourhood into a shop with distinctive features to draw customers in. A reversed pyramid is inserted into the existing space to hide a column in the middle. Inside the pyramid is the mezzanine and outside is the shop. The shop area is thus maximized leaving the mezzanine fairly sizable. Walking around the shop, the pyramid constantly denies a visual clue, and a visitor's spatial experience becomes one of discovery. Under the age of online-business, the design sought a physical space of incidence and serendipity.
