Article source: Studio Razavi Architecture This full floor work space was designed for the oldest insurance company in France. A very specific brief had been put together by the client which required to design a “peaceful, see-through & fresh” space that would not only respond to contemporary work practices but also allow new, and at times unexpected, team interactions.

A young consultancy firm focusing on helping established corporations to adapt to new work environments and culture. This allowed us to focus on design options that we knew were compatible with our clients wishes and ultimately finalize a design package at record speed.

This in turn creates an alternate flow pattern which we carefully controlled so that it would not conflict with individual well-being.

Pine was the wood of choice because of its very imperfections. We made sure natural lighting was allowed as deep as possible inside the floor and introduced generous felt covered surfaces to provide an acoustically efficient environment.

They are located at the very center of the floor so that all work spaces are evenly distributed from and around these core islands.
