TYTHEdesign

We open storefronts to possibilities by creating short-term multi-use spaces as community hubs. Think of us as the Airbnb or Zipcar for storefronts. We make storefronts affordable and accessible for everyone!

Architecture Commons is a design practice advocating design for the masses. Using architectural production, we create of cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary work.

TYTHEdesignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to use the lens of design and strategy to support non-profits, social ventures and civic agencies streamline their potential for community engagement, service delivery, and workplace efficiency as they work towards positive social change in their communities.

Transforming a Vacant Storefront

stopTHINKshop: transforming a vacant storefront - The Storefront Transformer http://stopTHINKshop.com | http://madeinLES.org | http://storefronttransformer.com

Imagine a shape-shifting storefront, one space, many possibilities: from an independent arts space one week to designer fashion boutique the next; from cooking classroom on Thursday to locavore snack bar on Friday. The miLES Storefront Transformer is a versatile set of furnishing and amenities to program any storefront - essentially a 6ft cube that can be easily transported and subdivided to roll through any storefront door. When unfolded, the Transformer provides functional elements such as shelving, partitions, tables, seats, stage, as well as infrastructure such as lighting, WIFI, power strips, to create any pop-up! 6

miLES worked with Massey Knakal to identify a vacant property that can be converted into a pop-up shop. miLES negotiated a license agreement and issued general liability insurance for the popup shop.
