“Our brand is known for curating eclectic, soulful pieces from around the world, so a cookie-cutter retail building wasn’t going to be an accurate reflection of who we are,” Habitat President Kaj Maloney said in a release.

“All of our locations have a story, from old hardware stores to local groceries; and the Malibu location is no exception. These historic buildings not only create a fun space for our design team to harness their creativity but also results in an interesting layout for our customers to explore, with various unique rooms and vignettes. The character it exudes provides a sense of excitement and energy you cannot achieve with a newly built rectangle."
