NK Store / Estudio Tupi

The NK Store project sought to propose a diversity of uses for the building – in addition to being a luxury fashion house, it is also a space for events, fashion shows, art exhibitions, the company's administrative headquarters, and various technical areas. Regarding the choice of materials, Estudio Tupi sought a certain austerity, using concrete, wood, mirrors, curtains, leather, carpet, brass, and Portuguese mosaic. This created a box where products could be hidden behind translucent curtains (which also double as wall cladding) or locked inside Brazilian ironwood cabinets. The sliding-door niches of these cabinets reveal fashion treasures or form opaque surfaces when closed, showcasing fine millwork.

Between June 16, 2018, and February 2, 2019, Estudio Tupi designed and helped build the new headquarters for Uniflex Cidade Jardim inside the Forma store building, a 1987 project by architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha in São Paulo. The intervention initially proposed that the new elements placed in the building would always feature primary colors—red, yellow, and blue. The initial concept, which drove formal studies through the development of models and perspectives, was also based on a rigid composition of geometric shapes—cylinders, squares, circles—dialoguing with the original space and the gray of the exposed concrete.
