Loreal Beauty Academy

The design envisions a space that reflects both the elegance of the beauty industry and the clarity of education.The layout follows the logic of the existing building: classrooms along the glass perimeter open to one of the city’s finest neighborhoods, while the core hosts offices and service areas that don’t need natural light.
A polygonal parametric structure at the center, inspired by a stage backdrop and the texture of human hair, becomes the spatial accent — dissolving typical corridors and setting a dynamic rhythm.
In contrast, classrooms are kept minimal and calm to focus attention on learning, while shared zones carry the expressive energy of fashion and creativity.
