The counter-culture play-is-work revolution has a firm place in the new Italian renaissance. The skateheads at Bastard Brand, an Italian streetwear design team, have opened up a store and office celebrating their passions in Milan, Italy. The Bastard Store is a rehab of a 1940s theater building into an indoor skatepark– with a retail store below and an office above. Between tasks, employees at Bastard can hop on a deck and hit the bowl, relieving office stresses in the indoor skate park. This design by studiometrico was so respected in the world of architecture that our friends at ArchDaily awarded it the Building of the Year interior award in 2009.
