Spring ARCH TOUR FEST: Supreme

In the former location of Tower Records, the roughly 8,000 sqft space features a sculptural skate bowl element that spans 40 feet and required raising the roof. Supreme’s signature minimalist interiors mask the complexity of the core and shell retrofit and the structural gymnastics of the floating bowl.
