Description
Summary:Tomo Design transforms a colonial-period house in Guangzhou, China, into an intriguingly quirky, IRL emporium for online streetwear brand MasonPrince. Located in the hip Dongshankou district of Guangzhou. China's third largest city, the shop is surrounded by chic boutiques and a rising artisanal coffee culture. Mason Prince chose one of those colonial-era houses--the year of construction, 1931, displayed prominently on the roof parapet above the white columns framing the entrance-as a da ka-ready storefront. Tomo Design, a studio based in Shenzhen, transforms the two-story, 5,400-square-foot property into a retail environment that would take customers on a figurative journey through time and space.
