In the middle of a health crisis, the Caisse des Français de l’Étranger (CFE), whose mission is to cover the health of expatriates, wanted to set up a location in the heart of Paris.
We produced a flexible space that embraces the architectural codes of the international style, with a rigorous, airy design that echoes the worldwide mission of the CFE. In order to transform the workspace to accommodate 3 to 5 offices, we developed an hybrid form between the open space and the enclosed office. Large sheets of glass divide the volume permanently, while additional separations are possible with large acoustic curtains. Within a limited area, we wanted to offer a wide range of possible uses.
We imagined a place where materials reveal themselves under the light to create an atmosphere out of Paris. An international destination that offers an alternative to the workspace, with attention to detail and flexibility.
