Casper Mueller Kneer has created a concept store inside an old warehouse in Vancouver, designed around angled metallic walls and weathered concrete floors.

Leisure Centre in Yaletown is a multi-brand avant-garde fashion store incorporating a bookshop, café, lifestyle and health products.

It is arranged over two floors, set within a former envelope factory, and contains other private shopping areas.

The existing art deco building has a visually dominant structural grid and a beautiful concrete floor, which has the history of previous occupants inscribed into its layered and worn surface.

This project has been longlisted in the large retail interior category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
