outdoor clothing company aether apparel has just opened their new ‘hayes valley store’ hosted by the proxy project in san francisco, california. designed by local practice envelope A+D in collaboration with chris french metal, the project consists of three standard – 8-foot by 9.6-foot by 40-foot – shipping containers stacked on top of one another and offset slightly. the cantilevering section is cut out and encased in glass to create a striking element hovering above the main entrance. reclaimed oak floors break up the otherwise industrial metal character of the materials, complete with a conveyor beltthat penetrates all three floors constantly rotating perched articles of clothing throughout all the spaces.
