This jewelry store is intended as a temporary establishment, nestled within the passageway of a historic building. The building itself was to remain unchanged, with its façade fully preserved. The store was to be inserted into the passage like a container. The extended, slender space formed by the passage conjured the image of an airplane corridor. Hence, the concept of the store was designed by the fundamental characteristics of an airplane’s interior in mind. From the façade, one can notice the pill-shaped cross-section and elevated floor stand out. The elongated box on the side of the cut-open cylinder leads “passengers” into the store via a staircase. Jewelry is displayed in illuminated windows with rounded airplane-like shapes. These, along with light strips on the floor and ceiling, serve as the primary lighting sources, where accent lighting becomes general lighting. A carpeted ramp from the passage extends as a platform through the white room and forms a continuous strip with the suspended black ceiling, ending at a full-height drawer cabinet.
