Project Year：2022

Category：Offices

Atelier du Pont has built its own office in the heart of the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Aware of the opportunity to use this space as a showcase for their know-how and their way of designing, they imagined this new workplace as a small laboratory, conducive to reflection, experimentation and production. And above all as a place where you feel good.

Customized offices from A to Z

From architecture to interior design, including layout and furniture, Atelier du Pont has designed the entirety of this new agency. This bias to build everything is the essence of this new building and their approach. The agency has always had the will to integrate this notion of "global design" in its projects and this building is the perfect example.

An all-wood building

Building all in wood was an obvious choice. The raw and exposed wood reinforces the warm and embodied spirit of the space, it has a smell and the alternation of its natural texture with that of a paint in warm and colored tones, allows to create a familiar atmosphere and to structure the spaces. At the end of a dead end, wood also allowed for easier supply of the construction site and less nuisance for the very close neighbors. Without air conditioning, low-tech processes were adopted: blinds, natural ventilation, air fans...

Sharing and conviviality

Designed in a "U" shape around a planted patio, the offices are organized into "work hubs", designed to facilitate daily exchanges and to allow teams to move easily according to the projects. Shared spaces are located on each floor to encourage group work, exchanges and informal work. Thus, planted terraces, meeting bubbles, a model workshop, a material library, a cafeteria, etc., punctuate the work areas and encourage people to meet. One level of the building is also dedicated to coworking and the cafeteria is regularly transformed into an exhibition space.

What about tomorrow?

Designed in a housing template, the post-and-beam structure allows for the building's mutability. In short, this project was conceived as a living structure that offers the possibility for this new work space to live and evolve with the times. A small synthesis of the architectural and human convictions of Atelier du Pont.
