Translucent gradient perforated aluminum panels form a light arc that appears to float on the concrete facade. Inside, soft lace curtains replace the original solid partition doors, so the areas remain separate while the space stays flexible. Light gray paint changes in texture with the daylight. An extendable curved golden tube display lets the dresses move freely instead of standing in fixed corners.
