PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Emporio Armani store in Glasgow is defined by a transparent curved façade that wraps the corner of the building, transforming the storefront into a luminous urban display. Inside, the space unfolds around a central cylindrical display core, while a sculptural staircase and the double-height volume establish a strong visual connection between the two levels. Vertical metallic fins filter the light and create a rhythmic architectural backdrop that reinforces the brand’s refined and minimalist identity.

The project required precise coordination between design development and construction management to translate the architectural concept into a buildable system. Custom furniture, façade elements, and integrated lighting solutions were developed and installed under close supervision to meet rigorous quality standards. Continuous coordination with local consultants and contractors ensured compliance with local regulations, site constraints, budget control, and delivery within a demanding schedule.
