Al-Jawad Pike - Al-Jawad Pike

1/9 Text

Al-Jawad Pike has worked with luxury fashion brand Hogan to create a new store concept for their Macau flagship.
Inspired by Milan's rich art-historical heritage, the architectural vision reflects the urban sensibility of Milanese facades and entranceways, with details drawn from Albini's Milano Metro stations, to create an inviting ‘room’ reduced to its most essential.
The material ‘shell’ combines Ceppo di Gré stone traditionally used in Milanese classical facades reinterpreted as shelves, marmorino plaster walls and black cement floor tiles. These are juxtaposed with an interplay of distinctive geometric elements – such as configurations of freestanding furniture formed in Iroko, Belvedere stone and glass brick. These are contrasted against the lightness of the P-shaped curved rails and handles inspired by the handrails of the Milan Metro. Macau, CHN, 2024, retail
