About

The C-Shop is a 3-storey building that is around 15.3 metres high. This small building continually changes its appearance when viewed from different angles, which means no façade is the same and even the interior is designed to be a promenade architecturale. Despite using a parallelepiped structure, the architect has designed a dynamic and bright architectural centre through using sliding horizontal and vertical planes and employing different materials and colours. Wooden or cement surfaces are alternated with white ceramic mosaic and large glazed walls that open out onto the city.
