Marisfrolg Fashion Apparel founders, Ms. Zhu Chongyun and Mr. Yao Jianhua, enlisted Architecture van Brandenburg to design their cutting-edge headquarters. Inspired by nature, the architects seamlessly merged architecture and structure using double curvature geometry. The result is a 190,400 square meter campus, resembling a bird in flight, housing design studios, production facilities, a boutique hotel, an events space, 80m long catwalk and exhibition spaces. Constructed over 14 years with a blend of high-tech and hand-crafted techniques, using 80% of recycled materials for the exterior cladding including discarded ceramics, marble offcuts, recycled brick and glass slag.
