In 2011 launched INDOORS a section focused on reformulation and internal reorganization of urban housing adapted to living contemporary culture.A clothing company co-owned by well-known fashion blogger and social media personality Rosie Connolly Quinn has launched High Court proceedings against three entities it claims have engaged in 'passing off' the firm's trademarked garments. It is a serie of conversations about architecture held between members of ARCHITECTURE-G, the philosopher Ekhi Lopetegi and several young architects whose work has sparked interest in the profession, society and the media. In 2008 created ESCRITOS-G as learning tool and to improve the business, with the desire to create a critical discourse and trigger discussion about contemporary architecture. Currently the office includes small projects and starts a new stage to approach larger projects. Material aspect is fundamental for the them, seing it as a field of research. They understand their work as a team, where individualities are dissolved in an addition of ways of doing. The floor-to-ceiling windows, simple panes of glass slotted between the interior and exterior stonework, open the store out and into the city, thus sparking up a dialogue between the two.Īrquitectura-G is a studio of architecture founded in 2006 based in Barcelona, by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes and Igor Urdampilleta, mainly dedicated to construction and teaching. The columns next to the new overhead opening are now two floors high, and they loom over the space almost like imposing urban infrastructure. The store’s façade was also covered with this stone, and it extends into the shop and creates a bold monolithic ambience since all the space is constructed in this one single material. Also, the project seeks to forge a certain material continuity with the rest of the city: the Saint-Maximin stone used here, from a nearby quarry, is ubiquitous in Paris, and it has been used for everything from unremarkable residential buildings to the city’s most iconic monuments. It eventually leads to the staircase that joins the two floors, and it frees up both of them the mezzanine ceiling thus becomes the whole store’s ceiling. Previously, the two floors were connected by a single staircase.Īs a strategic decision, the intermediate floor structure was partially demolished, thereby creating a large opening that runs the length of the store. Inside, it has the typical structure of an artisan’s workshop house: the ground floor has reasonably high ceilings, while there is also a mezzanine-type space with a minimum ceiling height of 2.05 metres, where the family lived. This branch of Acne Studios is located on Rue Saint-Honoré, in the lower part of a corner building. Towards the exterior, continuity has been given, from top to bottom, to all the shop windows, giving the sensation of exterior continuity in the interior.Īrquitectura-G previously designed the Nagoya store in Japan (opened in 2019) or the one in Stockholm, Sweden (in 2020), the headquarters of an old bank from the 1970s, inside which, after the robbery in 1973, the well-known term "Stockholm Syndrome" was forged.Īcne Studios Flagship Store in Paris by Arquitectura-G. The decision allows a large interior opening that provides greater visual amplitude and allows spatial continuity.
The connection between the two floors is made through a single staircase that improves its spatiality with the decision to demolish part of the slab inwards. Previously, the two floors were connected by a single staircase.
After cleaning the stone from the outside, Arquitectura-G decided to introduce the same stone, inside, of 385 square meters, made up of two floors: the commercial ground floor with a reasonably high ceiling height, and the second or mezzanine, traditionally used as a warehouse or home for the owners, with a minimum ceiling height of 2.05 meters.
