L Architects has created retail space in Singapore that draws on raw materials for an atmospheric experience.

The project is a multi-label kitchen appliances shop located in Singapore.

The starting point for the design was the expression 'bricks and mortar', used to describe the physical presence of a business or organisation. From this, cement bricks were chosen as the key component for the space.

Further materials such as hollows bricks, unadorned plywood and off-cut stones were also used to offset the raw functionality of the cement material.

The resultant space creates a refreshing and atmospheric retail experience that offers a sense of beauty that can be found in the ordinary, much like the moments of wonder created with seemingly functional kitchen appliances.

This project has been longlisted in the large retail interiors category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
