Uniflex will open its new store on Avenida Cidade Jardim in February, with a makeover by Estúdio Tupi. Architect Aldo Urbinati, the studio's leader, developed a project for the iconic 500 m² space, created by Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 1987. Inspired by Bauhaus, the architect chose primary colors – yellow, red and blue – as the main colors. Red was already a predominant color in the previous installation. In this project, the tone was applied in a conceptual way, creating a new atmosphere to welcome a brand current, connected and in full movement.
The façade will also have a new look and will feature the design of the Malatestiano Temple, located in Rimini, Italy, by Leon Battisti Alberti, the first great architectural theorist of modernity in the mid-15th century. It is yet another reference, designed by Aldo, to the work that remains original, but which receives a contemporary reinterpretation in which the architect "covers" the front of the church with marble, but preserves its entire original structure. For Mario Rudge Castilho, who is opening his third store for the brand, it is a special moment to be inside an imposing and important building in the city, revamped by renowned names in the market. "It is an honor and a privilege to be inserted in such modernist and iconic architecture. from São Paulo, under the signature of Paulo Mendes da Rocha and with an implementation project by renowned professionals in our contemporary architecture, such as Estúdio Tupi and lighting technician Carlos Fortes", celebrates the businessman.
