Showroom : The place that represent the nature, which resist the human beings to consume the existence of himself. In the place, natural wood that confined to concrete texture, get out of the dirty concrete texture and rise to blue ceiling which symbolize the sky in corner of place. The rising envelop the place like a net and as if it resist to touch itself. This idea overlap the logic of the casual shoes that display in the showroom. The exclusive visual designs that used on the walls, mean pollution of nature.Transparent epoxy’s thickness is 4 mm and it covers on land, so it simulate intensive water layer. This simulation represent that water bring to life the land and nature. Wilmotte & Associes design Mouette simmetrica lighting armatures were used on the ceiling. The armatures are like birds and they load dynamism to the place.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: During the fictionalising of the space that display casual shoes and reflect the casual life style, was researched nature and human interaction and than started to design. Physical condition of space, properties, product research, story of space were evaluated. Then selection of material fictionalised and material production methods were determined. Firstly, designs were transfered to conceptional Project and turned to be sketches. The adequacy of manufacturing was determined with sketches and transfered to CAD as application Project 1 and application Project 2.
CHALLENGE: During the realization of the Project was needed in solving variety of problems. Primarily, manufactures that were both in construction area and workshops, bringing together in disciplinary, was an important problem for the project. The other problem was that difficulty of applying the manufactures within the budget. And the other one was that difficulty of ending of showroom and building at the same time.
