Atelier Derek Lam | SO-IL

El diseñador de moda Derek Lam abrío su primera tienda en NY de la mano de SANAA y pudisteis verlo en nuestro número 15. Ahora, un discípulo de SANAA, Florian Idenburg, junto a Jing Liu, nos presentan la nueva sede del diseñador, situada en un maravilloso edificio en el SoHo. Desde su estudio SO-IL, han diseñado el atelier, showroom y las oficinas administrativas con una organización simple en la que los espacios se separan mediante muros muy finos y se conectan a través de grandes aperturas.

Rising fashion designer Derek Lam has opened his first boutique store in conjunction with a new headquarters in early 2009. SO – IL has designed the atelier, showrooms and administrative offices, located in a five story land-marked loft building in downtown SoHo, New York. The initially contradicting desire for both an open office and substantial privacy is achieved by devising a series of adjoining spaces which are gently separated by a 2” thin wall. People and places are connected through large openings in these slim partitions, creating fluid relationships between realms of variable intensities. In this spatial layering and exposing of concurrent activities all participants in the creative process can be seen as equal. We try to expose the intrinsic value of the historic by stripping the building down to its bare essentials and synchronizing these with this one simple element – the wall – to generate something new.
