← All workThe Spot Retail Store
An adaptable geometric system for a network of retail spaces

Role and attribution
The Spot Retail StoreDevelopment of an adaptable spatial system.
Bojan Tepavčević worked with Modelart Arhitekti on concept development. He developed the parametric design and preparation for fabrication through the Digital Design Center and later through DDC-Make, creating a system that adapts to different locations while retaining a shared identity.
01 — Context
The Spot Retail StoreAn identity that changes with its space
The Spot is a network of retail spaces with different dimensions, proportions and conditions. The task was not to design one fixed element, but a system capable of adapting to each location.
The geometric structure became the shared carrier of identity, while its form and intensity changed in response to each interior.

02 — From movement to curve
The Spot Retail StoreThe path as the beginning of geometry
Customer movement and the organisation of the retail space were translated into a spatial curve directing the development of the system.
The curve links zones, follows the flow of the interior and establishes the basis for generating the elements.

03 — Adaptable system
The Spot Retail StoreShared rules, different built versions
The parametric model enabled the width, height, density and rhythm of the structure to adapt to different locations.
The project’s identity depends not on repeating one form, but on consistently applying a shared geometric logic.

04 — From model to fabrication
The Spot Retail StoreComponents derived from one model
The system was resolved into panels and connecting elements with the data required for digital fabrication and assembly.
Geometry, labels and component layouts remain connected to the model, enabling controlled development of new variants.




05 — Geometric control
The Spot Retail StoreControlling geometric regularity
The mesh was shaped to appear dynamic and to adapt to the space, movement paths and the specific conditions of each location. At the same time, ball-packing optimisation allowed the triangular elements to remain as close as possible to an equilateral form.
The analysis shows the degree to which individual triangles deviate from an equilateral form. Despite the different spatial conditions and the pronounced dynamics of the mesh, deviations remain small throughout most of the system.

06 — Built versions
The Spot Retail StoreOne identity across several cities
The system has been built in stores across Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Each location has a different configuration, while the shared geometric language remains recognisable.
