项目的整体概念围绕着冰岛的精神和理想。我们想抓住冰岛的精髓,而不至于千篇一律。冰岛的天气是这片土地上一个非常真实和突出的特征,我们将其归类为静态的(岛屿)和永远变化的(天气)。这些动态变化是我们想在项目中捕捉的。与不断发展和适应的天气相比,静态的冰岛岛是静止的,但这影响了人们对该岛的看法。

The holistic concept of the project revolves around the ethos and ideals of Iceland. We wanted to capture the essence of Iceland without being stereotypical. The weather in Iceland is a very real and prominent feature in the land and we classified this as static (the island) and forever changing (the weather). These dynamic changes are what we wanted to capture in the project. The static island of Iceland stands still in comparison to the constantly evolving and adapting weather but this influences the perception of the island.

我们对这种细微差别感兴趣。我们把从黑色到白色的双色看成是天气的运动。非物质的、运动的、变化的、模糊的和非正式的。当我们开始分析天气的颜色和它对岛屿的影响时,我们发现总是有一个较深和较浅的灰色,双色。这些非静态元素总是不同的。因此,灰色与商店的主体相连,而新增加的颜色则是一种演变。每种颜色都是岛屿的一个方面。每种颜色都可以是一个新的商店,用一种新的材料。

We are interested in this nuance. We look at the bi-chrome from black to white as movements of the weather. The immaterial, movement, changing, blurry and informal. As we started to analyze the colors of the weather and its effects on the island, we found there is always a darker and lighter grey, the bi-chrome. These non-static elements are always different. Therefore the grey is connected to the principal of the store and the newly added color as an evolution. Each color is an aspect of the islands. Each color can be a new store, with a new material.

我们使用天然的可持续材料来创造一个特定的外观和感觉。灰色的弧形墙是来自英国康沃尔郡当地的天然色素粘土。夯土岛是用不同大小的骨料和各种类型的熔岩浇铸而成,构成了分层的效果。由一位来自柏林的艺术家/雕塑家特别制作和雕刻的。泥土本身是有色素的骨料和沙子。夯土岛本身是土和岩浆模样的物体,看起来像是从地球上雕刻出来的。

We used natural sustainable materials to create a specific look and feel. The grey curved walls are locally sourced natural pigmented clay from Cornwall, UK. The rammed earth islands are cast with different-sized aggregates and various types of lava rocks to compose the layered effect. Specially crafted and sculpted by an artist/sculptor from Berlin. The earth itself is pigmented aggregate and sand. The rammed earth islands themselves are earth and magma-looking objects that look like they have been carved from the earth.

弯曲的墙是不朽的,也是直截了当的。墙体可以根据其位置的不同而变高变低,因为这样可以框住风景。粘土的质地质朴,给空间增加了一层触感,带出了衣服的感觉。这些弯曲的墙壁创造了不同的视角和氛围。它们坐落在现有的白墙前面,创造了一个戏剧性的前景,即滚动的柔和曲线。入口处的墙几乎有18米长,而且略带弧度。这条长长的曲线形成了一个新的视角,并与不同色调的光线相映成趣。当你进入时,你的感知就已经被带入了这个体验式的触觉世界。

The curved walls are monumental and straightforward. Walls can be higher and lower depending on their position as this frames the view. The clay’s rustic texture adds a layer of tactility to the space and brings out the feel of the clothing. These curved walls create different perspectives and atmospheres. They sit in front of the existing white walls to create a dramatic foreground of rolling soft curves. The wall at the entrance is almost 18 meters long and slightly curved. This long curve makes a new perspective and plays with the light in different shades. Already as you enter your perception is transported into this experiential tactile world.

屏幕和镜子的想法是把它们插入两面墙之间。在两面墙之间,它们起到了连接、分割和分离的作用。定制的天花板网状物像缥缈的白色天空一样发光,将灯光和神秘主义投射到下面的其他空间。通过天花板上的网状物,我们实现了明亮、发光的光线,支持了冰岛自然界的天气和场景的多种多样。技术设备被隐藏在它的顶部。利用这些弯曲的墙体,空间的流动引导并使顾客在玩耍的发现中穿过空间。在这里,当顾客在空间内进一步移动时,空间就会向他们展开。

The idea of screens and mirrors is to insert them in between two walls. In between the walls they act as a connection, division, and separation. The custom-made bespoke ceiling mesh glows like the misty white sky that casts lights and mysticism on the rest of the space below. With the mesh at the ceiling, we achieve a bright, glowing light that supports the multiple varieties of the weather and scenes in Icelandic nature. The technical equipment is hidden on top of it. The flow of the space using these curved walls guides and moves the customers through the space in a playful discovery. Here the space unfolds to the customer as they move further within the space.
