Dr. Jart+ has pursued a healthy beauty based on dermatology, inspired by art and culture. Dr. Jart+ diagnoses a phenomenon with the most rational and logical ‘doctor’s eyes’, suggests the true value and the way of beauty with emotional and flexible expression methods of ‘art’, and talks about ‘the healthy beauty’.
The space of Dr. Jart+ first built in Garosu-gil is named ‘Filter Space’ having the purest ‘water’, ‘air’, and ‘light’, which are 3 elements of the healthy beauty. Dr. Jart+’s first flagship store ‘Filter Space Seoul’ is where essential elements of the healthy beauty such as ‘water’, ‘air’, and ‘light’ can be experienced in the most refined form, and it is planned to be the cleanest and comfortable experience space in the environmental pollution which is getting worse every year. The existing shape of the building is kept, placing a large air-conditioning system on the rooftop, and it is carefully designed to look like a piece of functional machinery connecting each floor with air ducts. It is also recognized as a filter covered with punched stainless steel plates during the day, while the shape and nature of the existing building are exposed at night, showing closely combined function of space and building. The air ducts covering the building can be explored in a staircase, which is one of the entrances into the new area of building so that the form of access to each floor allows ‘people’ as well as ‘air’.

It is in itself a return to their roots, where raw beauty’s natural sense gets stablished as different, authentic and truly attractive. Everything in Serrano 8 Malababa calls for an authenticity which becomes more beautiful within time. And this is precisely one of Malababa’s mantras.
Founders of Malababa Ana Carrasco and Jaime Lara, together with design and architecture studios Ciszak Dalmas and Matteo Ferrari, have joined forces day after day to materialise the dream of Malababa at Serrano 8. The result is a space that has been built the same way their products are: with passion, consistency, honesty and sustainability. A retreat that breathes creativity and a total involvement of all team members.
Located in the city center of Juiz de Fora, Alimentar Store aims to offer to consumers two strands of nutriment products: an enteral nutrition aimed at the hospital branch and natural food products, to the general public.
The architectural project started from the perception of these two distinct markets integrated in the same physical space. In the initial part of the store, designated to the hospital products, the proposal is a real “dip” in white, where exhibitors and light materials were chosen to recreate the medical atmosphere. By crossing this space, the user immerses himself in a non-orthogonal wooden box, which invites him to the warmth and return of our roots, which is natural and lasting essence. Using the naval plywood to create this “box”, we tried to value the materials in the way they are, in fact, reflecting on the user experience.
A 49 sqm store is located in a 1st generation shopping mall that tries to resist to the abandonedment. Due to its location in the city center there is still some activity although part of the occupation are shops marked by successive transformations that create a palette of suburbanity.
The project itself is ambitious in its attempt of integration by promoting a performative, stylized, simplified space that contrasts in all its valences with its surroundings.
