In the midst 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 reception and work space 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 CFE's mission to take over social security worldwide. In order to transform the workspace to accommodate 3 to 5 offices, we developed a hybrid form between the open-space and the enclosed office. Large sheets of glass divide the volume permanently, while additional separations are possible thanks to large acoustic curtains. Within a limited area, we wanted to offer a wide range of possible uses to bring collaborators together around their professional service.

LOCAL with landscape firm Curve Studio, commissioned by Vestland County Council, have drawn up a project for an innovative activity hall in connection with the building of a new school at Trudvang in the center of Sogndal. The ideas behind our proposal are to create a truly innovative activity venue that exists in its own right. The proposal recognizes the need for a new type of activity venue that mixes sport, art, culture and is an open invitation for everyone to enter. It is open to users who are part of a club or school, but also to others who may not fall into this framework, and may not necessarily find their space to hang out and gather.

The proposal for the Football Club Bokelj builds a unique identity for the stadium that is integrated in the territory and the heritage of the city. Instead of creating an enclosed and monumental stadium, the future sport facility is thought of as an open plaza : a place where spectators can simultaneously support their favorite team and appreciate the magnificent landscape.
