Located on Manhattan’s famed Fifth Avenue, 673 Fifth Avenue is a proposal for a three-story retail platform showcasing a curated selection of highend products from Asia. The retail program called for a mixture of jewelry, and housewares, as well as a teahouse and event space.
The project site exists in a unique location at the intersection of commerce and culture as 5th Avenue meets 53rd Street. Adjacent to both major cultural institutions such as MoMA and High-End 5th Avenue Retail Flagship Store brought us to view the design as a hybrid of retail and Chinese cultural institution that could capitalize on its striking location.
The design of the retail flagship scheme is inspired by the concept of a bamboo forest allowing for a unified architecture that connects all three floors for a flexible retail space.
