san-ei showroom
Our design for this 65 SM plumbing fixture showroom puts a twist on the clients desire for a "natural oasis" in which to display their products. A swath of crushed stone, bamboo flooring, dried leaves and sea shells, while all natural, are used not in their lush, living state, but are employed in their driest and whitest form to create an arid space in which the blue acrylic shelving display "island" stands. A 4meter wide sliding door, complete with a sea shell weighted counter balance, connects the space to a 2nd floor sales office and a sense of motion and drama to the composition.
