Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio Odd Lots Projects
SHAIA’S
The Shaia’s family has built a successful business four generations strong in their small men’s boutique in Downtown Homewood. Having already designed the Main Street storefront and interior fit-up, Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio was asked to redesign the adjacent storage building as an annex for store expansion. Carving out simple and functional spaces, highlighted with daylight from the ceiling, the architects visually and physically extended one space into the other.
Within the annex and adjacent fitting rooms, the architects designed wood shelves, steel framework and fittings for mirrors and display fixtures, all of which were hand made by local artisans. Modern details of raw steel combined with warm rustic wood and plaster embody the spirit of the store and its sophisticated apparel.
