GEMME | David Perri

The building is located in the historic center of Messina. The most ancient church of the city is visible thorugh the main windows. The tall double eight welcome the visitors with its very generous space. The ground floor is a perceptual experience of the gems exposed like light boxes embedded inside the walls. The floor is treated as a marked route that guides the client to discover the world of the precious gems. At the same floor private tables are used to meet the clients. A balcony overlooking the entrance hosts a separate space for meetings. The space is divided on three floors, each of which has its own level of privacy. The top floor is for the most demanding customers, the ground floor is dedicated to the reception and every day customers and the basement is the real headquarters where the artisans work the stones creating piece of arts.
