CFE Office / local

Located in the heart of Paris' 8th arrondissement, the welcome area for the Caisse des Français de l'Étranger (CFE) replaces the entrance hall of an office building. Facing due north, on the first floor of a wide boulevard with Haussmann facades, the 70sqm space benefits from just one window onto the street and is designed to accommodate the comfort required for two separate offices and a meeting room for ten people. Faithful to Jacques Tati's film sequences, we designed a space that celebrates a form of neutrality.
