PILLS

Based in Beijing, PILLS crafts art exhibition spaces and gallery pavilions characterized by boundary-dissolving reflective surfaces, suspended industrial armatures, and atmospheric, translucent layering. This body of work serves as a strong reference when designing immersive gallery enclosures that utilize mirrored planes, mist, and custom overhead rigs to blur spatial perimeters.

Retail storefront window display by PILLS featuring layered sliced foam forming a mountain topographic relief with ski figures.

A retail storefront window precedent utilizing horizontal layered foam sections to sculpt a high-relief topographic mountain landscape.

What we like about this project
The mountain form breaks through the horizontal window louvers, merging architectural layering with dynamic action figures.

Geometry
Layered horizontal planar slices step forward to form a high-relief topographic mountain contour, framed by dark textured stone above and below.
Facade system
Glass storefront display window framed by dark textured stone panels.
Structural guess
Internal concealed steel armature supporting stacked lightweight foam sections.
Spatial scale
Human scale; storefront window span roughly three to four meters wide with life-sized mannequin figures.
Lighting
Focused interior spotlighting highlights the sharp edges of the white sliced relief against dark surroundings.
Atmosphere
Dramatic, high-contrast night display evoking alpine movement and frozen terrain.
Environmental context
Urban retail storefront at night with dark stone facade framing the lit display window.
Spatial experience
The viewer on the sidewalk looks through glass at a dynamic diorama where figures in ski gear traverse a sliced sculptural landscape.
Composition rhythm
Tight horizontal stacking of planar slices creates a dense, striated section rhythm.
