Set in a former factory in the Saint-Henri district, ADHOC architectes’ new offices are in harmony with the existing architecture, respecting and enhancing the genius of the site. The original space is spacious and warm, thanks to the presence of brick walls and existing wood. Thus, the architectural insertions propose simple gestures and monochrome coloring to enhance the cachet of the existing building.
The offices are enlivened by a sequence of distinctive atmospheres, punctuated by signage that reflects the company’s image. The entrance area is hushed, intimate and dark, contrasting with the central space, which is vast, airy and bathed in light. The collaborative workshop takes place in this open-plan space and through the marked addition of vegetation.
