The concept behind the main headquarters of this luxury soap manufacturing company revolves around the actual soap bar. Inspired by the intricate packaging of the company’s soaps, the structure began as a box, sliced in half. In between the two distinct structures created, a relaxing space, alive with greenery and a variety of aromas that linger and welcome visitors, reminiscent of the variety of soap fragrances. The first structure, where the company’s manufacturing plant is located, is covered by a woven metal wiremesh on top of a wall covered with the brand’s soap patterns. The second structure, which hosts the company’s offices, benefits from wide openings, protected from the sun thanks to sliding aluminum louvers that bring privacy to employees.
