As a result of a geometric interpretation of Oscar Niemeyer’s building, a metallic biombo–made of natural aluminum profiles and reused galvanized steel sheets–duplicates the store’s curvilinear window shop and reveals its construction through straight segments.

This device, responsible for displaying objects and clothing, acts as a mediator between the exterior and interior–offering privacy for those changing clothes, as a large dressing room in one of the busiest corners of downtown São Paulo.

Tied to such a notion, the spaces were organized and designed according to the new resident's needs.
