Masstone
Masstone is a fashion boutique interior design in Taiyuan, China. The boutique covers 520 square meters on two floors and is arranged as an inner garden. A large gentle slope leads to the entrance, and a ramp connects to a top platform. Three short stairs add further paths.

An automatically irrigated green wall softens the geometry. The concrete structure is left exposed.
