STUDIOS drew upon common practices in offices, hotels, clubs and art schools to design a hub of technology and culture on a historic building renovated by Franklin Azzi.
The challenge for the “House of Technicolor,” was to bring together a widely diverse population including creative staff, engineers, administrators and visitors to share a common corporate culture in an inspiring setting.
Creativity and technology play off and complement one another at this site dedicated to imagination and innovation.
The Technicolor experience begins at reception and continues through the main stairway to the light-filled atrium.
STUDIOS leveraged the energy and volume of this central area to make it a lively space whose great flexibility offers options for a host of different events and informal meetings.
A new vision of the workplace environment to foster creativity and innovation
Throughout the floors, different user needs are answered by a wide variety of glass-walled spaces that share a visual connection and face the heart of the building.
Circulation areas are furnished with a multitude of seating options to foster encounters and collaboration.
Open areas and circulation zones facilitate meetings and encounters
A wide variety of spaces and numerous meeting options fosters different modes of working and encourages the emergence of a shared culture.
At the top of the building, a glass-roofed sun room opens out onto a terrace with magnificent views of the city.
Beyond the renovation project, STUDIOS also handled change management issues to ensure each employee would embrace the new environment.
