The project for the new “Gaia del Greco” boutique in Senigallia responds to the need to move the existing point of sale, located in a shopping center, into a streetfront space in the historical center of this city in the Marches.
The decision on the part of Giorgia Politi, owner of the store and the factory of the same name that produces footwear and accessories in leather, was based on the desire to offer clients a more convenient and appealing space in which to display the brand’s entirely handmade creations. As Giorgia Politi explains: “Finely crafted Italian leather footwear and accessories are synonymous with style and tradition, all over the world. Our country also makes very beautiful products for the market of so-called affordable luxury, offered at more reasonable prices than those of the famous brands: “Gaia del Greco” fits precisely into this market niche.”
The Shop is a comprehensive co-working development that is located on the third and forth floors of the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) in downtown New Orleans, one of New Orleans’ most important cultural institutions. Targeting technology, arts, and cultural-based businesses, The Shop serves as a hub of entrepreneurship in the developing Downtown innovation corridor.
Located in a historic 1920 former warehouse, the building was used as the headquarters for K&B, a local drugstore and soda fountain until the CAC acquired the building in the mid-1970s. The top two floors of the CAC have historically been underutilized, with The Shop marking the first large-scale renovation of that space in the last forty years.

When a multi-generational Japanese-American retail family wanted to develop a new concept for the urban food shopping experience, they contacted Graham Baba to help bring their idea to life. The architects traveled to Japan to research Japanese grocery designs that would work in urban Seattle. The resulting 5,500-square-foot market, which takes its name from the Japanese word for ocean, boasts a poke bar, live seafood tank and a master fishmonger station to assist with the selection of the perfect fillet or sashimi cut, as well as a curated offering of Asian grocery and gift items. Additionally, the market sought a venue from which to support their wholesale business that caters to local restaurateurs and businesses.
“Feels like home” was the main goal for this project. The design aimed to achieve the best functionality of the space despite its small size and the need for the company to serve as many people as possible. Thus, by using a curve, two comfortable areas are created, one small for the reception and one bigger as the waiting area. Moreover, another essential point was the extroversion, the need for the company’s brand to be visible from the main hall.
