Doubling as a giant billboard and storefront, the OKIO eyewear boutique in Guatemala features an eye-catching façade shaped like a pair of cat's eyeglasses. 

The project was designed by architectural practice Taller KEN, recently featured in our Small Studio Snapshots series. 

The giant, circular windows make clear the usage, bring in natural light and allow outsiders to window shop. Throughout the store—which contains a retail area, exam room, restrooms and storage—this playful geometry is carried out. A large 'oculus' skylight, brightens up the interior and mirrors of different shapes and sizes reflect the different shapes in the ceiling and façade.

Inside, a custom display bar and cashier are positioned underneath the skylight at the center of the space. Interior details are designed with natural wood that contrasts the cool white of the walls. Forest-green millwork, the pastel-green terrazzo tiles and tropical plants from the exterior garden bring in pops of color.
