Flagship Dolce Gusto Neo


Description:

The design for the Dolce Gusto Neo Flagship unites innovation, sustainability, and architecture. The building ́s form was generated with algorithms, and it was fabricated with the help of 3D-printed in biodegradable materials, making it the first building of its kind in Latin America. Its wood structure was recycled, and its dome composed of biomaterials was crushed and used as agricultural fertilizer. This project is an example of cycles designed for regeneration, inspired by the ancestral consciousness and the use of digital technologies of our times.

 

Inspiration:

Inspired by the delicate coffee flower’s five petals, the Concept Store is designed like a dome formed along five axes, each marked by a glass portico, enabling a structure that has no clear front or rear and thus presents a flowing permeability with 360-degree views of the greenspace surrounding it. The interiors take advantage of the internal structure, organizing the store’s program and serving as a basis for supports and product displays. A glass skylight lets in sunlight and creates a temple like atmosphere with a form inspired by nature.
