dutch studio tjep, has designed three shops located in lounge 3 of schiphol airport, amsterdam.
three iconic dutch references were translated into tongue-and-cheek designs, making it easy for
the transient cross-cultural users to interpret the use of each space. based on flowers, cheese
and bread, each area embodies the goods it sells. 
 
the flower shop known as 'house of tulips' has a large green glass structure, reminiscent of
the greenhouses where the products originate. the tapered roof is derived from the flower baskets
in which tulips were traditionally transported. for functional purposes, the entire facade lifts,
opening up the store. at the end of the day, the displays are rolled under, and the green
exterior is lowered down.

'bread!' is a restaurant showcasing a large bread display. its feature wall is made with the
exclusive use of ash wood to match the color of the bread it holds. the construction was
based on the inside of antique wind mills, once again examining the history of the produce.

whimsically named 'say cheese', the counter is circular, referencing the products it holds. 
at the entrance, a traditional cheese shape doubles as a shelf and display case. the bright 
yellow color adds to the playfulness of the boutique.
