I'd like to present you a recently finished project that I found very interesting and special to work on. This project was done in the north east side of Paris for a client who has naturally become a friend over the years and projects she has commissioned me with. A loft with two levels, entirely.../...

How to bring visual privacy into offices
The client wished to separate the lounge area from the glass meeting rooms facing it. The idea was to bring visual privacy to both parts that were to coexist on the same floor.
This is why AREP commissioned me to contribute with technical advice, manufacturing and the installation of 14 tailor made panels.
The 14 mobile panels that slide on a 16m long track, also help create a corridor in between these two areas.
Although the passage way already existed before my intervention, it wasn't actually materialized and was perceived as a source of distraction for those who were working as well as for those who were lounging.
The difference of color in flooring also contributes to mark each section.
AREP allowed me to use a design that they had specially created for this project.
A very simple but effective design that respects the visual identity of SNCF and its famous TGV trains.
The client also asked for two prototypes in two different materials in order to compare them visually as well as in terms of functionality.
The client and I both agreed that the most appropriate material would be our sun screen in dense mesh.
This technical fabric creates a visual filter on both sides while letting through light.
It is also very light but resistant to the many manipulations foreseen for the panels.
Each panel has its own "draw rod".
This accessory is a rod in Plexiglas or aluminum and helps to manipulate the panels without touching the fabric and thus avoiding stains and pleating of the material.
I'd like to thank AREP and SNCF for their confidence.
For this project I have used:
