Description

Ten years after its inception and following numerous accolades in the field of scientifically backed aesthetic medicine, the multinational company Matex Lab is opening the doors to a new headquarters in the economic heart of Geneva.

Concept

Welcoming collaborators and employees—as well as Matex Lab’s clients and stakeholders—into an imposing headquarters that embodies the company’s identity. A comprehensive brand awareness project brought to life through architecture, aimed at enhancing the Group’s image.

Preliminary and detailed design

It encompasses not only offices and workspaces but also relaxation, leisure, and social areas. Every space has been designed to foster professional and social connections within an innovative facility that is accessible to everyone.

Demolition and reconstruction

The new Matex Lab headquarters involved the demolition of over 650 square meters of space and a complete reconstruction of the interiors, all situated within a seven-story building in a luxury-oriented district of Geneva.
