Inception Architects Studio: Located in the heart of Braga, a city from Portugal, Jorge Oculista Store stands out for its harmonious fusion of modern and classic elements. The store entrance resembles an art gallery, with an industrial touch, preserving the original purity of the building in visible parts.

Delving deeper into the design of the store, careful consideration was given to optimizing the entry of light and the application of materials, resulting in an aesthetic and functional balance. The skillful combination of different materials provides striking transitional details, adding sophistication to the space.

The strategic arrangement of the service stations at the front of the store, together with a third station further away, creates an immersive experience for the customer, encouraging full exploration of the environment. Beyond the curved wood panelled wall, a consultation room and staff support area reveal itself, while the elegant staircase leads to the warehouse area, and a future pop-up store, at the top of the building.

Jorge Oculista not only offers high-quality optical services, but also provides a unique visual experience, where aesthetics and functionality come together in an exceptional way.
