Looking at the new Moda Bagno-Interni store from the outside, you will probably need a second to digest it. The facade features an interesting 3D design with parts of the building cut out and sunken in so that looks almost like an optical illusion.
This innovative design for the Moda Bagno-Interni store is by the firm K-Studio and is located in Athens, Greece. K-Studio has turned this 1,000 square foot cedar building into a unique, artistic space. According to the designers, the structure's exterior has been clad with expanded metal and designed with interspersing openings to "allow views into and out of the building." This design creates an "exaggerated perspective," which is definitely captivating, regardless of whether you are inside or outside of the building.
