OUNASS Stage Dubai / VAUST Studio

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000

OUNASS STAGE in Dubai was conceived as more than a conventional retail environment. Positioned somewhere between gallery, installation, and boutique, the project explores how contemporary retail spaces can serve as platforms for cultural exchange, storytelling, and spatial experimentation. Designed by VAUST for Ounass, the concept translates the raw atmosphere of Berlin's contemporary art scene into a context shaped by precision, luxury and transformation. At the center of the project lies the idea of "Alternate Abundance". Luxury is expressed not through ornament or visual excess, but through atmosphere, material honesty and spatial tension. The project intentionally distances itself from the polished neutrality often associated with luxury retail and instead embraces an architectural language informed by brutalism and modernism alike.

RPA19 House Transformation / VAUST Studio

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Located in Berlin's Karlshorst Rheinisches Viertel, RPA19 reimagines a single-family home from the 1920s as a site of subtle transformation. With approximately 200 square meters of floor space, the residence underwent a radical yet respectful spatial reorganization. Walls were removed to open up the view and merge spaces, particularly around the kitchen and dining area, while preserving the home's essence.

"The Shell" is born from a blend of diverse creative approaches, functional necessities, and spatial dynamics. It embodies Highsnobiety's refined vision as more than just a traditional retail space but a dynamic platform for layered and ever-changing storytelling.

Schulstrasse 17 Store / VAUST Studio

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sun, 20 Mar 2022 02:00:00 +0000

The spacious concept store for technical goods and innovative start-up products is driven by a minimal aesthetic. The overall idea is to keep some of the building site’s natural look and to bring it together with an eclectic use of materials to avoid traditional finishes of any kind.

JIGI Poke Restaurant / VAUST Studio

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 06:00:00 +0000

When the opportunity was presented to design a Poke restaurant, we decided to free the concept from what is already known. This project is about re-evaluating the ideas of how hospitality is organized in times of a pandemic. We strongly reduced the number of possible guests taking a seat at the same time and increased the distances of people sitting across from each other. The majority of the seats are fixed to have a clear management structure within the restaurant.
