The existing patio was stripped from its extensions and covered. This area becomes the heart of the shop. Daylight is allowed through five translucent cupolas. The shop assistants have a perfect view of the entire shop from this central area. The shop itself is decorated in a refined way and has a low maintenance cast polyurethane floor. Simple shelves display the goods. A semi transparent curtain provides for the necessary privacy in the reception area.
