The desire was to create a box within a box – a balanced play between opposites. The outer fac?ade of this historical landmark is kept as is while the interior is a play on the modern.
The rough walls of brick and stucco were kept in its natural state. Duplicate panels of glass-smoked mirrors redefine a new minimal and sophisticated architectural space. These partitions both conceal and reveal the original shell, setting the tone and echoing Pierre Hardy’s own design elements: sleek vs. rough; sharp vs. soft; austere vs. luxurious.
“There has never been a question in my mind that New York would be the home of our first international boutique. Having a store in New York, and, even more specifically within the beautiful West Village, is truly the realization of a dream of mine. The energy of this city and of this neighborhood has always motivated me and fueled my creativity.
It feels truly like a second home to me here, and this store gives me a new way to share my designs with a city that means so much to me personally.” Pierre Hardy

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Last week we where invited to the opening of the first Pierre Hardy store in the US, the 1400 square foot flagship store located at 30 Jane street in the west village has been chosen by Pierre Hardy as his favorite because of its intimate yet chic and lively atmosphere of this downtown neighborhood.
The boutique’s architectural concept was conceived in collaboration with MR architecture. It is an evolution of the design elements from his Parisian shops.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
