Dolce Gusto Neo Flagship Retailer / Estudio Guto Requena
Textual content material description provided by the architects. The design for the Dolce Gusto Neo Flagship unites innovation, sustainability, and construction. The setting up ́s kind was generated with algorithms and it was fabricated with the help of 3D-printed in biodegradable provides, making it the first setting up of its kind in Latin America. This enterprise was conceived for the launch of the Dolce Gusto Neo which accommodates recycled plastic recovered from the ocean in its machines together with biodegradable capsules. The setting up construction invites us to copy on potential futures that we would design, notably given the native climate emergency we face. It moreover regards the choices that civil constructing so urgently desires to consider so as that we’ll stop using provides from non-renewable and very polluting sources akin to concrete and steel.

Kind and inspiration. Impressed by the delicate espresso flower’s 5 petals, the Thought Retailer is designed like a dome common alongside 5 axes, each marked by a glass portico, enabling a building that has no clear entrance or rear and thus presents a flowing permeability with 360-degree views of the inexperienced space surrounding it. The interiors profit from the inside building, organizing the store’s program and serving as a basis for assist and product exhibits. 5 curved LED panels kind a spherical attribute of digital content material materials that helps visually mix the axes. A glass skylight permits daylight and creates a temple-like setting with a sort impressed by nature.



The Dolce Gusto Neo flagship was designed to be put in in a public park, to be democratic and accessible, and to point out its 3D-printed biodegradable construction.

Central premise: sustainability. The prefabricated building consists of glued laminated timber (GLT) created from widespread reforested pine bushes. It’s lined with a shell, the molds of which have been milled from laptop computer info that scale back their supplies weight suspended from the optimized building.

As important as a result of the Flagship is for Dolce Gusto Neo, its construction adopted the engineering of the development. There are two elementary provides utilized in its constructing: wood and plaster. After the store is dismantled after about two years, the wood shall be recycled and the plaster shall be crushed and used as agricultural fertilizer, providing the soil with nutritional vitamins akin to calcium and sulfur.

Kiosks. The Dolce Gusto Neo kiosks, to be put in in plenty of shopping for malls, observe the equivalent concepts as a result of the Thought Retailer. Their format moreover references the espresso flower, laid out alongside 5 axes, and is made totally of reforested pine wood. All the wood could also be recycled on the end of a kiosk ́s life cycle.


The underside was digitally designed using parametric programming in waffle kind, a type of modeling utilizing algorithms to generate a fluid building together with fittings, and all CNC milled. Every angle attracts the viewer to the merchandise displayed on the counters and on the spherical LED show surrounding the kiosk. Even the wooden sheets have been decrease in such a strategy that minimizes waste. spherical LED show surrounding the kiosk.
