Seriously sexy supermarkets
We've mentioned our penchant for modern alpine architecture before, and this just gets us going on a Monday morning. It is always nice to see good design applied to common places of experience like grocery stores, and Austrian supermarket chain MPreis has set he bar very high.
MPries is a regional chain in Austria's Tyrol valley, and many of the 30 different architecture firms they have worked with are Tyrolean natives. MPries does not have set corporate design guidelines allowing each store to be site specific and unique.... and sexy.
