Messina Glenelg approaches the gelato shop as a social interior - one shaped by nostalgia, collective memory and the rituals of summer. Rather than resolving the brief as a conventional hospitality fit-out, the project uses boldness as an architectural strategy, translating the simple pleasure of gelato into a spatial experience that is public, generous and deliberately engaging.
