Schizophrenic Gesamtkunstwerk in Wanstead, London by Space Group of ArchitectsDecember 2nd, 2020 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Space Group of Architects This project is many things, but boring is certainly not one of them. As the name suggests, it certainly has a split personality but also contains an avalanche of details. There is the original Edwardian part which sits in stark contrast with the contemporary volume at the back.

Article source: CuldeSac The second Freshly Store has already opened its doors in the heart of Madrid; a 100m2 space at 46 Fuencarral. After the success of the first space in Barcelona, the Freshly Cosmetics team has once again joined forces with the Valencian studio CuldeSac for this new challenge. A space that is the evolution of the previous one. Freshly’s iconic curve reflects the brand’s personality: it makes things easier, speeds up routes, takes risks and breaks new paths. A brave and cornerless brand. In addition to these attributes, there is also the DNA of Identy Beauty, the new make-up line with which the company has broken into the market. An in-store journey in parallel through the duality within the same brand. The more conventional face of Freshly in front of the spontaneity of Identy.
