VOZ

Objective: This project required my partner and I to design a headquarters building in an existing shell for a fashion brand of our choice. We chose the company VOZ, a B corporation that partners with South American weavers and metal workers to create beautiful clothing while at the same time empowering artisans with living wages and keeping tradition alive. Concept: We found an interesting geometric design on one of Voz's beautiful hand woven tunics, we decided to use a simplified version of it as a parti. This shape ultimately turned into the basis of our floor plan and project logo. We decided to focus on transparency as an ode to Voz's B Corp status as well as colors and textures that represent the natural beauty of the Andes. Our custom abstract graphic of the Andes, hemp rope dividers in place of walls, and a balanced neutral color palette allowed for a light and airy atmosphere.
