Project overview

GUSTO: Galaxy of Sweets transforms a commercial dessert space into an immersive architectural experience. Curtains become floating pink clouds, geometric portals reinterpret classical arches, and pixelated terrazzo creates a continuous landscape beneath visitors. Gold accents, soft curves, and layered lighting balance playfulness with elegance, proving how familiar materials can be reimagined into a timeless, memorable interior.

Project history
Commissioned to create a flagship dessert destination, GUSTO was envisioned as more than a retail interior—it became a spatial identity that invites visitors into a playful yet refined world. From the earliest sketches, the design focused on transforming everyday architectural elements into unexpected experiences. Curtains evolved into sculptural clouds, arches became contemporary portals, and pixel-inspired flooring unified the entire space. Every detail, from lighting to custom furniture, was carefully coordinated to reinforce the concept while remaining practical for daily operation. Since opening, GUSTO has become one of the most recognizable hospitality interiors in Prishtina Mall, strengthening the client’s brand identity, increasing visitor engagement, and demonstrating how thoughtful design can transform a commercial space into a memorable destination.
