The cosmethics shop in Allariz
July 20, 2020
MOL Arquitectura designed a cosmetics shop in the little Spanish town, Allariz, that isn't only a commercial space but also a meeting point for people.
The project is proposed in a historic building to make an iconic intervention that serves as a revitalizing item of the commercial and cultural life of the Allariz Old Town, where people with concerns about ecology, nature and the care of the environment can enjoy together.
The project proposes a palette of materials that is most respectful to the environment, such as wood, natural varnished iron, marble and fundamentally, the introduction of vegetation. The innovation in the conceptual definition of the image, and its
materialization in developing the interior architecture was one of the basic premises.
materialization in developing the interior architecture was one of the basic premises.
Light was also used as an additional material, both in the use of artificial lighting and in the treatment of natural light entering
through the windows. The furniture elements, like vegetated latticework, define the outsideinside transition, sifting the light, and awakening the curiosity of the pedestrians who walk outdoor.

Another iconic element is the washbasin, which is not only an expository and functional element, but works for all the activities
related to workshops, talks and conferences that take place in the space. It functions as a social condenser, being one of the elements of the architecture of the premises more open to participation. In the intervention we sought balance and maximum coherence between architecture and functionality.
The project seeks through the use of construction systems and materials of traditional architecture to achieve hybridization with space, in addition to being a low cost intervention.
