“This store is a combination of location and brand—they spoke to each other and merged nicely,” says architect Oliver Link, the project manager from Anderson Architects, which designed not only this Levi’s store but others in Times Square, São Paolo, Boston, and Malibu. “The neighborhood has been about manufacturing, meatpacking, and storage—it has the feel of work and labor, and all of the buildings and materials reflect that. The Levi’s brand is also about working people. The existing materials in the neighborhood, as well as those we introduced in the store, have a roughness that played into that theme.”
