9th Street, New York, NY
9th Street, New York, NY
While organizing my computer, I found data from a project I worked on in New York in 2006.
A friend was opening a vintage clothing store on 9th Street in Manhattan, and I was responsible for the shop design.
It was a very small shop, only 230 sqf (approx. 21 m²), so I designed a simple plan and fixtures that the owner could build themselves as a DIY project.
