HOW COOL!!



i love the juxtaposition of the very contemporary shape and design with the organic matter.. very cool

i'm amazed too
i also want to know if it's real or not

i wonder why they chose to do that too...
it kind of reminds me of overgrown vines over victorian castles and old houses and things, especially the green alongside the high exposed windows .. and then the steep stairs --a 'modern' version
kind of part of demeulemeester's aesthetic, i suppose

The World of Disney store in Downtown Disney, Disneyland, certainly catches your eye. It's connected to the Grand Californian Hotel and has two separate entrances. I just love the way the entrance sort of "pops" out at you.

gius and ChrissyM, just found this:

Fashion retail shop for Ann Demeulemeester by Korean architects Mass Studies, features a living wall of herbaceous perennials planted on the building's facade.

So yes it is real..

Watch stores tend to look like fussy old lady drawing rooms- which is why i love the Girard Perregaux boutique- a cross between a cabin and a sauna:

that's really gorgeous...

nice limited colour palette
a lot of natural materials
looks comfortable too --looks like a place to have a drink

the mauve section at the right in the top picture is a little weird
what is that spot used for...

Some more info on the Ann Demeulemeester shop @ Soeul by Mass Studies #292 #293
from dezeen

This proposal is an attempt to incorporate as much nature as possible into the building within the constraints of a low-elevation, high-density urban environment of limited space (378m2). The building defines its relationship between natural/artificial and interior/exterior as an amalgamation, rather than a confrontation.

Diverse interior spaces designated for its three main programs were made to be perceived and utilized as a part of the outdoors in a variety of ways. This building is not meant to be just another ‘object’ to be experienced externally, but rather as a synthetic organism of nature and artifice.

The parking lot/courtyard is at the center of the site, exposed to the street on the southern end. The entrance to the Ann Demeulemeester Shop is located on the western side of the courtyard, and stairs that lead to the other two programs are located on the eastern side. Landscaping of dense bamboo form a wall along each of the remaining three sides that border neighboring sites. Inside the first floor shop, undulating dark brown exposed concrete forms an organically shaped ceiling.

The outside building material is primarily a geotextile planted with a herbaceous perennial to form a living façade, while the other three sides that face bamboo borders are clad in steel sheets are finished with propylene resin.
