SARNIES X PIMP MY SALAD

Materiality becomes central to the project’s identity, balancing natural warmth with industrial precision. Dark wood surfaces are used extensively across counters, partitions, built-in seating, and merchandise displays, grounding the space with depth, tactility, and a sense of familiarity. In contrast, the existing stainless steel and metal-like walls are preserved and integrated into the design language, reinforcing the building’s contemporary urban character while creating a dialogue between refined industrial surfaces and warmer organic textures. Subtle accents are introduced selectively to punctuate the interior with moments of energy and contrast, carefully composed to complement rather than dominate the overall material palette.

Rather than relying on physical partitions to define each tenancy, the design establishes distinction through spatial character, material articulation, and furniture composition. Variations in texture, tone, and atmosphere create a subtle transition between the two brand experiences while maintaining visual and spatial continuity across the floor plate.

A continuous curved geometry, derived from the existing tower boundary, serves as the project's primary organizing device. This architectural gesture informs circulation, seating arrangements, and built-in elements, creating a cohesive framework that unifies the space while allowing each brand to express its own identity. Through this balance of contrast and continuity, the design creates a layered environment where individual brand narratives coexist within a singular architectural language.
