Hypernuit Offices is a project located on the ground floor of a building of flats, behind a large window looking out onto the Clignancourt street in Paris, France. The 65 square meter space designed by h2o architectes is well-lit with a simple geometry. The commission consisted in fitting-out a working area including five identical desks, a common meeting room and shared facilities. Hypernuit is an agency employing different people as artistic directors, graphic designers and workers in public relations.
The refurbishment project had to reflect the dynamic and innovative spirit of the agency in a serene and contemporary space. It also had to include a maximum of shelving for storage, the creation of exhibition walls for the display of photography shows. The schedule for the building works was very tight. h2o architects created for these offices a sort of indoor landscape thanks to a play with blocks. These volumes of varied form and size constitute the living space for each person working there. Their combination help compose the furniture, the desks, the separation and exhibition walls, the coffers etc.
The different parts were made in a workshop to save time on the building-site. The unitary treatment of the floor and of the furniture responds to the demand of a serene atmosphere. The space is enlivened by the white color of the thickness of the different blocks and of course by the books and objects brought by each user. Each desk benefits from both openness towards the shared space and a more private area which can be modeled by a play with void and volume.
