Queen Shoes
Pure white. White paint is
the new kind of colour closely linked with the futuristic world. This is a
completely personalized project jumping back to the architect's youth
references, from the Star Wars imperial soldiers wearing unblemished white,
from Superman's Fortress of Solitude - a crystal castle in the heart of the
North Pole - to the masterpiece of 2001: A Space Odyssey, an iconic reference. These
references were intentionally mixed up to create the concept of this shoe shop
in Londrina, Brazil. The shop's
outer-space expressiveness results from a geometric movement which stems from
eighteen 42cm wide white segments which compose the walls and ceiling. The shop
fade is the first segment and it introduces itself as a solid structure
sculpted in order to create the entrances. The following segments obey the same
movement pattern, each one of them sculpted to build the shop interior. The cashier's
counter follows the segment patterns and comes to life as a detached sculpture
right in the centre of the shop. Behind the counter, a panel hides a staircase
which leads to a small storage room and a mezzanine. The uneven batten floor warms
the visual of the shop atmosphere highlighting the geometry of the segments.
The ceiling is about 2.40m to 3m high inside the shop due to the segments visual
aspect in the ceiling.
Constructive
system and sustainability
The client
asked us to observe the shopping centre policy which states that the shops have
to be renovated every five years. Therefore, we chose to use wallboards, which
is a light and resistant material and facilitates future architecture changes.
The wallboard thermo-acoustics coupled with the volume in the ceiling and the
walls resulted in a functional acoustics environment. The lighting technical project determined the set-up
of polyurethane tensioned screens on some of the segment faces, spreading the
light equally. Only T5 light bulbs were used as they offer lighting efficiency
with low-energy consumption with an added bonus of producing less heat.
Compared to the same shop before the redecoration, there was a significant overall
economy of approximately 70%, once the use of air-conditioning was reduced
because less heat is produced by the new lighting project. The outcome is an
almost shade less environment with efficient light.Photographs by MCA Estúdio
