Alexander McQueen, Bond Street, London

Alexander McQueen appointed the studio to collaborate with Smiljan Radić on this 10,000 sqft flagship store on London’s Old Bond Street – the first example of his new store design concept for the brand. Providing a radical departure from the interiors of its retail neighbours, the store’s unique sloping walls, clad in oak and walnut, create a dramatic backdrop to a series of angled glass tubes. These extend through the full height of the store to visually link the three floors, and sit alongside a series of large and striking decorative alabaster rocks. Highly specialised technical solutions were developed to introduce these heavy structural elements and integrate them with fine millwork details and finishes.
