BRLOOTE Headquarters is situated in Shaoxing, nestled between the elevated road of the industrial zone and the city's waterways. We handled the overall planning, architectural design, and interior design for the project. The site covers an area of 47,114 square meters, with the primary functions including garment research and development, and production, along with a sightseeing factory, warehouses, offices and conferences, Fashion Creation Design Center, a staff canteen, showroom, retail space, reception center, outdoor square, aerial bridge, and garden, among other comprehensive features.
As an indispensable process in garment production, 'cutting' has become the starting point for the overall planning of the BRLOOTE Headquarters and the exploration of the building's basic form. Like a tailor, the architect envisions the site as a soft, irregular fabric carried by the river. The site is strategically planned with a “tailored” approach, by applying design elements such as linear interplay, circular integration, slicing, and angles to the architectural form.
