He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Acne Store in Stockholm, Sweden by ARQUITECTURA-GJune 7th, 2021 by Sumit Singhal
Architects: ARQUITECTURA-G This former bank suffered a robbery in which hostages were taken, leading to the term Stockholm syndrome. After the bank closed, several interventions added a series of layers over the years, masking the original neoclassic architecture. The project cleans up the space, leaving only the essential features. Although the floors were made of real marble, many elements were faux marble, and the project plays with this duality. All the skin surfaces are monochrome within the shades of the original Ekeberg marble.  Image Courtesy © José Hevia

This fake colonnade is made of real marble and provides access to the fitting rooms. Pieces of marble furniture by Max Lamb work as podiums while creating a new marble floor on top of the old one. As a counterpoint, the light, designed by Benoit Lalloz, is technical and sharp.
