About
The concept rests on two waving slabs. The lower one touches the ground and lifts away again, its movement marking the entrances. The upper one, the “roof wave”, frames the building in a sinuous line. The volumes that cut through the slabs can be taken by fashion brands, whose façades can be customised to mark their presence, for instance with a translucent metal mashrabiya based on the brand’s own pattern.
