I don’t think there is anyone that would guess this [striking architectural space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deji-plaza-phase-ii) is for a retail store. This is the Ayres main store in Buenos Aires, designed by architects Tristan Dieguez & Axel Fridman to generate a feeling of urban space. The unexpected design, the change of perspective and the wide open layout achieve this goal.

**Implications** - With so many consumers switching to online shopping, retail stores must find new ways to innovate their interior space and ultimately attract customers. Thus, [store fronts and window displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/josmo) are becoming a focal point for most retail businesses. The often-underestimated store display serves as the first impression of a company, making it essential to the success of a company.
