The project reproduces a small shopping mall where people can walk, stay, talk, watch and be watched. The boutique’s space has a structure made of two orthogonal axis: the first one connects the entrance with a “sitting” area, passing through a small expositive hall; the second, with a double way, connects five expositive squares of the same dimension delimited by parallel stone walls that section the boutique by its longitudinal direction. The space system has a rational structure that joins the efficacy and the functionality of the expositive-commercial requirements with the possibility for visitors to move free. The two longitudinal ways have a dimension defined by the stone lateral walls, while the main axis that starts from the entrance, in continuity with the exterior, ideally continues beyond a translucent wall made of illuminated curved glass.
