The Perfume Club by Soohyang, in Seoul’s Seongdong-gu, feels more like an art installation than a fragrance shop. T-FP designed the concept store and workshop space, which has taken over an industrial building once used, appropriately enough, as a perfume factory. The studio began by completely overhauling the facade, using concrete to create an exterior resembling a house with a gable roof – chosen to stand out in an area filled with ‘countless shapes, colours and materials’.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
