superlimão studio has integrated some of the brand’s attributes into the architectural design, in order to convey sousmile key messages, such as efficiency, transparency, joy, self-esteem, and care. in addition, the interior color palette has been applied to match the brand colors. the facade of the warehouse features a large awning with roll-up doors. wall bricks were painted white with a paint layout which is again based on sousmile’s color tones. with high ceilings and natural lighting, the new working area is spacious and versatile.
in the front section of the plot, the outdoors area guides visitors towards the warehouse interior, leading up to the breakroom with a broad living space for collaborative meetings. furthermore, there is a booth, as well as a grandstand area and a training room. this is where the store’s simulation activities take place. the clear aligner production area is allocated under the mezzanine, designed according to the demanding technical specifications regarding air exhaustion, air quality, and proper coatings.
the ground floor houses the work stations in a dynamic diagonal pattern. the area was entirely designed to promote interaction and exchanges between the team, including a phonebooth with acoustics and eco shape for private conversations. in the meeting rooms, triangular tables have been placed to ensure that all meeting participants have a clear view of the display screen.
