Designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop Architects, Set on central Cologne’s Schildergasse, the city’s shopping area, this new Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store is a mix of glass, steel, stone, and wood: classic materials to dress a modern building, entirely dedicated to fashion. Massive, but sculpted to be curvaceous, this five-story building covers an area of 23,000 sqm, of which 15,000 sq mare open to the public.
