Aesop Pitt Street Store / Snøhetta

September 24, 2019 Paula Pintos 0

Aesop Pitt Street is a result of the spirit of Sydney infused in the ambiance and mission of Aesop, which includes creating honest products to be sold in shops which reflect the context of their locations, communities, and environments. The interior space of Aesop Pitt Street is tranquil and peaceful, leaving visitors with a feeling of serenity and reassurance. The design process began with understanding the relationships between the spirit of the coast and waterfront at Bondi Beach, and the vibrancy of the central business district. A monumental granite structure wraps the interior of the sandstone building, paying homage to Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s 1968-9 Wrapped Coast, which rendered the sandstone cliffs of Little Bay a theatrical, lunar landscape. Aesop Sydney brings the greatness and tranquility of coastal cliffs to the bustling downtown environment.
