DAVINES HEADQUARTER - PARMA, ITALY

LIKE A VILLAGE

A village, a farmhouse, a factory. Traditional rural shapes and innovative volumes merge around a greenhouse. Functionality and welfare for Davine’s employees.

The architecture of DAVINES Haircare Company's new headquarters and manufacturing, packaging, storage facility and skin care brand [Comfort Zone] is designed to create a family-working environment. The headquarter and offices are conceived as a village of inviting two-storey houses inspired by archetypes, grouped around a lush flower-garden. The greenhouse made from glass and super thin steel forms the heart of the complex and acts as the restaurant for the employees.

Sqm of the property, incl. the green areas: 80.000Sqm of the building lot: 25.650Construction started Fall 2016 Completion of the whole village Spring 2018.

Transparency, lightness and nature were the point of departure. The shapes of the office houses made from natural oak wood with titanium zinc roofs are reduced to the max and flooded with light. Surrounded by green areas the project includes laboratories designed as open, transparent spaces to the garden, education zones for hairdresser and aestheticians’ training, test rooms and a skin bar where [comfort zone] products can be tested. Prefabricated with self-cleaning cement facades, the warehouse is structured in white and grey with polycarbonate and zinc panels and is protected by a hilly terrain that faces the motorway.
