Architecture studio KOT Architects introduces its latest design in the form of the new building in Tel Aviv made for French Fashion house Dior. It is located on the 17th floor along with a showroom that is led by a large bookcase made from birch plywood materials for a neutral tone, added to channel the comfort of being at home.
Founder of KOT Architects Kfir Galatia-Azulay explains the approach behind the design to Dezeen, noting that "The raw and rugged urban surroundings amplify the contrast between the various materials used and accentuate the cozy and inviting ambiance within the space. The approach was to conceptualize the space as a home with distinct zones to create a welcoming and secluded environment, distinct from that of a conventional office or store."
