The 81 square meter space showcases Balenciaga’s 'Raw Architecture' concept with intentionally raw and aged surfaces.

An entryway with concrete columns on either side opens underneath a large, front-lit sign affixed onto rough concrete panels.

A unfinished and partially deconstructed interior includes anodized aluminium and glass displays, suspended industrial racks, distressed faux-leather furniture, and a brushed cement floor resembling sidewalk tile.

Stained grey curtains hang behind glass panes that back metal shelves, while a metal grate partially obscures the building’s technical elements; air ducts, electrical cables, and support beams.

The grate and various wall and floor displays are lined with track lighting systems.

The Balenciaga Sydney Airport store offers a selection of women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, jewellery, eyewear, and accessories.
