Aesop Signature Store Burnside

The use of a single material – blackbutt ply sheet – creates an immersive space that is intimate and visually calm for this Aesop store in Adelaide. Simple forms are enriched through the expression of the ply sheet grain. Characteristically responsive to the local situation, perforated timber screens, which dress the shopfront and form the operable doors, filter light to provide a shady retreat within the conservatory aesthetic of an arcade.
