Final Store:
After all this research we came up with the following store: which will be located on the Overtoom in amsterdam, because this region is relatively cheap and there are already a lot of eco- as well as outdoor stores- and brands. We basically want to re-design a 3 story-house into an exciting and architectural store, which catches people’s attention and will hopefully lead Amsterdam in the cradle-to-cradle revolution.
