This project involved the renovation of two existing areas within the Socredo headquarters in Papeete, merged to create a new 26 m² coworking space; transforming the space into a modern, welcoming, and highly functional environment.
Two distinct work settings coexist within the space: a relaxed lounge area encourages informal discussions, while a more energetic zone features high tables and a coffee corner. A flexible fabric curtain divides the two, allowing the space to adapt to different needs throughout the day.
A strong focus was placed on biophilic elements, with lush greenery incorporated to promote well-being. The result is a balanced environment that supports both productivity and relaxation. The custom-designed furniture draws from residential aesthetics, creating a sense of comfort and familiarity.
The former dropped ceiling was replaced with a new one featuring a luminous cumulux-style LED panel, simulating a skylight, and some of the existing partitions were removed to open up the space. This design choice brings a sense of natural light into the room, despite the absence of windows.
Custom-built furniture, including a kitchenette and integrated storage, were carefully designed to make the most of every square meter. The result is a flexible coworking area that supports modern ways of working while offering a calm and comfortable atmosphere.
