A HEADQUARTERS IN THE COLORS OF THE SKIN

NAOS, an international skincare company, wanted to redesign its Lyon headquarters to bring its 300 employees together in a unifying space that reflects the company's image.

This new workplace, located in the Brutalist New Age building in Part-Dieu, marks a new chapter in the company’s history. Designed as a protective shell, this project faithfully reflects NAOS’s unique approach: eco-biology, which views the skin as a living ecosystem.

Our missions and ambitions.

— Sourcing, selection, and negotiation of 5,271 m² of office space for 357 workstations.

— Architectural design inspired by human skin: enveloping shapes, natural materials, and delicate textures.

— Incorporation of NAOS’s signature colors: bright yellow, midnight blue, and powdery shades.

— Creation of custom details, such as oak locker handles shaped like the logo

— Use of eco-friendly and upcycled materials (wool, felt, hemp, etc.) to promote sustainability.

— Engaging local stakeholders to reduce the construction site’s carbon footprint.

— Project delivery in 4 to 5 months, fully in line with NAOS’s values.

— Coordinating a network of ambassadors, leading workshops, and developing and implementing a communications plan

Thanks to the efforts of its multidisciplinary teams, Parella has successfully transformed an iconic building into an inspiring and sustainable headquarters that reflects NAOS’s identity and is designed with the well-being of its employees in mind.
