Capsul Store
The Capsul India store is an aggregator of luxury streetwear brands and the design aims to help it be a catalyst to building a community and home for the same. The 1200sqft space is on the ground level of a residential building which had always been used as a space for a bank. The design aims at minimal intervention and utilizes features such as the strong room and keeping the space in its raw and found condition as an ode to the history of the space.
Project Details
The design focus is to make this an inclusive, exclusive store by using concepts such as habitable facades with fold-out seating, and a pop-up storefront to make it a part of the community it is situated in. The retail space has corners for hosting podcasts, along with a flexible central display which acts as a toggle switch to transform the space from retail store to event space. The store uses easily available industrial materials for quick assembly and easy maintenance, and to enhance the raw industrial feel.
