Supreme store in Brooklyn by Neil Logan features an elevated skate bowl
New York firm Neil Logan Architect has retrofitted a warehouse in the city for streetwear brand Supreme, and put a free-standing skate bowl in the back.
Supreme Store Brooklyn is located in the Williamsburg neighbourhood, inside a former storage building for delivery trucks.

The store-cum-skatepark spans 2,938 square feet (square metres), with an open-plan retail area at the front, and a section for storage and skateboarding towards the rear.
The free-standing skate bowl was designed by Steven Bladgett of American art collective Simparch and custom-built with Baltic birch plywood. The structure is supported by a series of red poles around its perimeter, providing enough height for skateboarders to drop into the bowl and for fitting rooms to be housed underneath.
A popular piece of apparatus for performing tricks on a skateboard, the skate bowl was accidentally invented by architect Alvar Aalto in the 1930s with a swimming pool design, according to a US skateboarding magazine and a Finnish newspaper.
Last year, Supreme also updated some of Aalto's classic modernist furniture ? including the Stool 60 and the 400 Tank armchair ? with new patterns and upholstery.
