Text description provided by the architects. Between June 16, 2018, and February 2, 2019, Estudio Tupi designed and helped build the new headquarters for Uniflex Cidade Jardim inside the Forma store building, a 1987 project by architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha in São Paulo. The intervention initially proposed that the new elements placed in the building would always feature primary colors—red, yellow, and blue. The initial concept, which drove formal studies through the development of models and perspectives, was also based on a rigid composition of geometric shapes—cylinders, squares, circles—dialoguing with the original space and the gray of the exposed concrete.
