..At the floor level of the upper stage the toilets area has been reduced to its minimum, while as much volume as possible has been kept in the upper part, to stock small items; this gave way to create, on the side accessible to customers, an “architectural” elevation which takes and highlights hang garments. New crouching stairs, covered with pink Portuguese marble, were located within an architectural passage newly opened in the thick intermediate supporting wall, axis with the luminescent glazed door at the bottom of the global perspective, producing in the visitors a strong impulse to overcome the remarkable difference of level and visit the upper floor too. The street window has been widened up to its maximum, furniture have been minimized and recessed into coves expressly carved in the walls, tables and working surfaces have been designed to appear as light as possible while a bright light and smooth white wall surfaces have been used in order to give the illusion of a strong dilatation of this space.
