An average store on the Wilhelminastaat in Breda was drastically enlarged. The project developer had the garden excavated and covered high behind the existing location.
This created a much deeper and higher space of no less than 236 m2. Moreover, he connected two adjacent buildings. In one fell swoop, Breda acquired a shell with New York allure.
We have been in Breda with Skins for 12 years. Due to the success, we had a great need to expand, but a suitable location could not be found. Until the project developer approached us with this address. It is no less than three times as big. Here we can broadly present the complete Skins concept.
This location requires grand gestures. The open connection between the two buildings was closed with a glass facade. This way you have guaranteed the visual aspect, better climate control obtained, but no longer suffer from noise transmission.
The difference in level, traditionally experienced as a disadvantage in a retail environment, was converted into an advantage. The elegantly designed staircase now functions as a theatrical entrance, but also serves as a display. The Skins The wall is the common thread and takes you from the entrance, along the stairs, deep into the store. We let daylight flow in generously from all sides.
