RIBA Regent St Windows is now in its 5th year and the talented creatives at Squire and Partners have this time teamed up with Brooks & Brothers. The architects have created an eye-catching architectural installation in one of the windows in London’s famed Regent Street. Squire and Partners were for this project inspired by the trademark of Brooks & Brothers – the iconic Golden Fleece. The architects have designed two crafted sculptures ensambled from 800 hand-made sheep suspended on golden threads. In addition the window steps out of the shop with a bronze statue of a sheep named Madison, already an attraction in its own right.
