The new U.S. store in Topanga, California, spans 700m² with a rectangular floor plan, where we aim to explore an innovative layout that builds upon our previously adopted open-space concept. By introducing new wall surfaces, we have created distinct enclosures, each characterized by unique material combinations. These enclosures form a series of dedicated rooms, with each space tailored to showcase specific merchandising categories. This approach not only enhances the spatial organization but also allows for a more curated and immersive shopping experience while maintaining the overall fluidity of the open-space format.
