View of the interiors of the 'bunker'.
It is conceived of as a singular volume with only a crenel-like horizontal opening providing visual access into the boutique.
A high degree of opacity and lack of information in the facade is thus achieved in an attempt to increase the curiosity of the passer-by.
A bunker as a building typology is marked by the complete absence of any foundations to allow for movement and adaptation to changes in the landscape.
The facades of the Red Bunker are thus tilted slightly to reflect this.

View of the Red Bunker within its urban context.
The traditional defense system of a bunker is imitated in the interiors of the shop.
Three loopholes in the walls of it's facades open onto the primary and secondary streets flanking it.
The ambience is further accentuated by maintaining a low ceiling coupled with poor visibility into the exteriors through the crenels.
