To design the perfect space for them, it was necessary to create something that could create a bond between the stores, wrapping this whole universe together inside a long old brick shed (50m long x 7m wide).

This was possible with the construction of a conducting wall alongside the whole length of the building.

A “ribbon” that not only creates the identity of Coletiza, but also creates spaces for display – shifting according to each store – changing cabinets and hidden support rooms.
