Mine Sayın — architecture and design studio

Address mika

Retail · Address Mall, Istanbul · one level · 1,500 m² · 2019

The constraint became the idea

1,500 m² of children's retail, opened in two months on a low budget.

Two months, concept to opening

Brief

One floor for children and parents together: furniture brands, a playground, an auditorium, a workshop, an event space, a party area, a café and sports activities. Playful, and designed to catch a child's imagination.

Constraint

A short schedule and a low budget.

Resolution

Cardboard tubes as the main building material: walls, dividers and the entrance itself, assembled like building blocks. Fast to build, and easy for a child to understand as something to play with.

Our role

Concept to opening.
