Known for its lush approach to design, David Chipperfield Architects channels the sphere of nature-inspired architecture to create a wholesome and conceptually open interior for Korean beauty brand, Amorepacific. The client is the number one cosmetic brand in the country, known for its fierce development of innovations like cushion technology and BB creams.
The design-friendly headquarters have a cube-shaped structure that is clad in brise-soleil — a material that "deflects sunlight and gives the pale facade a soft and hazy quality." David Chipperfield Architects use trees and pools of water to break up the concrete presence of construction materials. These essential components of the nature-inspired architecture are arranged in a central courtyard. The large rectangular voids in the building's facade elevate these to "hanging gardens."
