The building in Mallorca, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/architecture-in-spain\/\">Spain<\/a><\/strong>, is enclosed within a monolithic <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/concrete-architecture-and-design\/\">concrete<\/a><\/strong> shell, establishing a clear and austere framework for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/retail-interiors\/\">retail space<\/a><\/strong>. The ceiling is composed of over a thousand <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/recycled-plastic-architecture\/\">recycled plastic<\/a><\/strong> crates, arranged modularly to diffuse natural and artificial light while accommodating technical infrastructure, integrating utility and structure into a cohesive architectural element. Reused materials, sculptural counters, and indirect lighting contribute to a spatial system that emphasizes material clarity, structural logic, and functional economy.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/leonardocondor.com\/\">Leonardo C\u00f3ndor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Minimal Studio Translates Brutalist Principles Into a Retail Space<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The project developed by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minimalstudio.es\/\">Spanish practice<\/a><\/strong> Minimal Studio draws on minimalist brutalist precedents to redefine the urban commercial typology. The concrete envelope, articulated through geometric volumes and clean lines, conveys structural solidity and permanence. Facade openings are treated as dark portals, marking the transition from exterior to interior and emphasizing the contrast with the illuminated retail space.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The modular crate ceiling is both functional and architectural. Each crate filters light and produces geometric shadow patterns that evolve with the sun\u2019s movement. The crates also house integrated LED lighting, ventilation systems, and rainwater collection, demonstrating the combination of aesthetic intent and practical application.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic Box by Minimal Studio redefines the supermarket as a space for architectural experimentation<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Steel, Concrete, and Light Shapes Minimal Studio\u2019s Plastic Box<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Within the interior, steel shelving, polished concrete floors, and monolithic sculptural checkout counters continue the brutalist design language. Indirect lighting accentuates product displays through shadow and contrast, while reclaimed and repurposed elements throughout the space challenge conventional retail norms. Minimal Studio\u2019s Plastic Box repurposes industrial components, structurally and visually, creating a supermarket that merges sustainability, material exploration, and spatial experimentation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the project integrates brutalist minimalism with principles of circular design<\/p>\n<p>over a thousand recycled plastic crates form the modular ceiling system<\/p>\n<p>each crate doubles as a housing for lighting, ventilation, and rainwater systems<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the project draws from minimalist brutalist precedents to reinterpret commercial architecture<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the ceiling diffuses both natural and artificial light across the retail space<\/p>\n<p>concrete geometry defines the building\u2019s volumetric composition and sense of permanence<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the modular ceiling turns an industrial element into a cohesive architectural feature<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Plastic Box | Akelarre Supermarket<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.minimalstudio.es\/\">Minimal Studio<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/minimalstudiodesigns\/\">@minimalstudiodesigns<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>lead designer:<\/strong> Juan David Mart\u00ednez Jofre<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Port of Pollensa, Mallorca, Spain<\/p>\n<p><strong>usable floor area:<\/strong> 193 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>client:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoresupermarkets.com\/\">Voramar Store<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/leonardocondor.com\/\">Leonardo C\u00f3ndor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/ceiling-recycled-plastic-crates-brutalist-supermarket-mallorca-spain-plastic-box-minimal-studio-10-29-2025\/\">ceiling of recycled plastic crates expands over brutalist supermarket in mallorca<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recycled Plastic and Concrete create Brutalist Supermarket \u00a0 Plastic Box, designed by Minimal Studio, reinterprets the supermarket as a site for architectural exploration, combining brutalist minimalism with circular design principles.
