The store’s design concept harmonises with Balenciaga’s visionary Raw Architecture approach, offering an immersive experience for visitors. The deconstructed glass-paneled facade seamlessly integrates all three floors, resembling the layered structure of a parking facility.
Notably, the construction of the store emphasises the preservation of existing elements, aligning with Balenciaga’s commitment to sustainable practices, as it reduces the use of virgin materials.
