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.

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 of use.
