Following on from our last post, we are sharing a closer look at the arches, lattice and ceramic details that shape the Hermès Sanlitun façade.

The arches in the façade form part of the composition, continuing a tradition present across Hermès stores. Arranged playfully, they open the mesh through a series of push and pull gestures, introducing a layered rhythm of depth, light and transparency.

As the system extends, layers of ceramic nosing in diamond and rhombic geometries are introduced, drawing on Beijing’s ceramic tiling traditions and working in dialogue with the mesh to deepen the façade. It remains legible from a distance, shifting with movement to reveal finer layers of detail and curvature.

Arthur Mamou-Mani met RDAI through The Collectif, an initiative that brings together design and making, valuing each craft equally. The façade was developed in that spirit, through close collaboration between design, engineering and fabrication teams, with each informing the other from the outset.

“It was a true honour to work on the façade alongside RDAI and Hermès in a collaborative spirit, finding a balance between organic geometry and the refined order and craft that define Hermès.”
– Arthur Mamou-Mani

Hermès has now unveiled its flagship store at Sanlitun Taikoo Li in Beijing, designed by Parisian architecture firm RDAI, as a five-storey glass building wrapped in rose-pink and terracotta ceramic tiles.

The façade, designed by RDAI in collaboration with Mamou-Mani Architects, functions as a semi-transparent veil, composed in a rhythmic sequence that balances opacity and openness, allowing the interiors to be bathed in natural light.

Through a parametric design approach, these gestures extend into a modular system where a set of rules allows for variation while maintaining lightness and freedom.

Within this system, elements are shaped through a series of adjustments, using push, pull and mirrored operations, allowing each to respond to its position while maintaining overall coherence, forming a protective skin that filters direct sunlight and reduces heat within the space.

Planning Application has been granted for our Helium Airship factory in Nouvelle Aquitaine, France.

This new production and test site for airships, including transfer routes and a take-off area, is led by our joint venture, GAAMMA, a partnership between Goudchaux Architecte & Associés and . Together with Format Engineers & Terrell Group, we developed a computational approach focused on minimising environmental impact at every scale.

From limiting footprint and soil disruption to reducing covered areas and material use, each decision was guided by circular thinking and efficiency. Using genetic algorithms inspired by biomimicry, we evolved a form uniquely suited to its site, achieving a 50 percent reduction in steel compared to conventional solutions.

The result is a one of a kind, eco-friendly industrial ecosystem that integrates gently into the landscape.

This video, created by Format Engineers, highlights the engineering innovation behind the project, reflecting the collaborative thinking that shaped it.

If you are developing ambitious infrastructure and would like to explore how parametric design can reduce impact while creating something truly unique, we would love to connect.

Take a moment to revisit Conifera, our 3D-printed forest that transformed the heart of Milan during .design.week at Salone del Mobile 2019.

Designed by and built by .pub in collaboration with COS, the installation was composed of 700 modular bio-bricks. Each element was 3D printed using a blend of wood and bioplastic, fully compostable and designed with circularity in mind.

Flat-printed and assembled into a light-filled lattice, Conifera explored the intersection of nature, technology, and sustainable design at an architectural scale.

More than an installation, it was a statement on how we can rethink materials, systems, and the future of making.

Have a concept you want to realise at scale? Let’s design, prototype, and build it together.

Beyond architecture, we design and develop concepts for visual merchandising, creating window displays and in-store installations that bring spaces and brands to life. ✨

From flowing parametric forms to sculptural lighting elements, our work explores how computational design can create immersive, memorable experiences with a strong sense of coherence.

This striking window display for in London was ’s very first project, an early exploration of how computational design can shape a clear and cohesive visual identity.

The installation features a series of fluid, continuous geometries that move through the space, creating visual coherence while interacting with mannequins and light to add depth and rhythm.

All our designs come to life with the help of .pub, our 3D printing and digital fabrication studio in East London, where ideas are transformed into precise, tangible objects using innovative and eco-friendly materials. 🌱

Most spaces are designed for humans. This one isn’t.

A space designed for dogs and their humans, where architecture becomes calm, playful and deeply connected.

For the Milor project, we imagined a private members’ club that feels more like a home than a facility. Warm materials, soft light and sculptural forms create a quiet, welcoming atmosphere where both dogs and people can relax together.

Curved ramps and layered terraces invite movement and exploration, while integrated pods offer small, cosy retreats, giving dogs choice, comfort and a sense of safety within the social space.

Beyond hospitality and play, Milor introduces a new approach to canine wellbeing. Advanced diagnostics and AI-supported insights help create personalised longevity roadmaps for each dog, with tailored guidance on nutrition, activity and sleep.

It’s about designing with empathy, creating a one of a kind environment where every detail supports wellbeing, connection and everyday rituals with our pawed friends. 🐶✨

Parametric design goes beyond complex geometry. ✨
It is a way of thinking that brings precision, adaptability, and clarity into the design process.

Through our parametric consultancy, we support architects and contractors in navigating technical complexity with advanced computational tools. Our approach translates data into responsive geometries that engage with light, structure, and material behaviour, always guided by circular thinking.

In East London, we supported two major projects through fabrication-focused parametric workflows:

For the Elizabeth Line at Liverpool Street Station, we were subcontracted by façade contractor Kaicer Ltd (formerly Lakesmere), working alongside design architect WilkinsonEyre to develop fabrication files for complex façade and soffit panels, ensuring precision from design intent through to technical design and production.

For the Bloomberg building, we worked with contractor Measom for their client Bloomberg, alongside design architect Hopkins. Here, we applied similar computational strategies to rationalise geometry and support efficient fabrication.

Across both projects, we worked within DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) principles, building automated workflows that transform complex designs into precise, fabrication-ready and eco-friendly solutions.

Through our consultancy, we:
• Translate environmental and technical data into meaningful design drivers
• Optimise geometry for performance and material efficiency
• Deliver precise, fabrication-ready outputs
• Support contractors with intelligent and adaptable workflows

If you are looking for a collaborative, research-driven partner to unlock unique, one-of-a-kind design possibilities, we would love to explore this with you.

We met His Majesty The King during the Circularity in Practice launch in Manchester this March.

Around 60% of ALL waste in the UK comes from construction, demolition, and excavation. A clear signal that the way we design and build must evolve.

As signatories of Circularity in Practice, Mamou-Mani Architects are part of a nationwide initiative inspired by His Majesty The King to accelerate circular solutions across the built environment. Our sister company .pub is also a signatory, continuing this work through digital fabrication.

For us, circularity is not an add-on. It is embedded in the way we think, design, and deliver. Projects like the THK Tower explore how parametric design can reduce material use, optimise structure, and create systems that are adaptable over time.

In practice, circularity means designing with intention. Keeping materials at their highest value for longer, reducing waste, and creating architecture that can evolve rather than be replaced.

Through computational design and material-led experimentation, we continue to explore how circular thinking can shape a more resilient and eco-friendly built environment.

As part of this initiative, we join a growing network working to make circular solutions visible, practical and scalable.
