ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
extensive glass walls facing the central deck but , in order to maintain a high level of confidentiality , special attention has been paid to visual and acoustic insulation in certain areas . The double-skin glass partitions serve as both acoustic and visual filters , along with claustra , bookshelves , screen printing , curtains , and blinds .
A furniture layout in harmony with the Association ’ s values
As the physical heart of the association , Vaincre la Mucoviscidose ’ s premises embody what it means to its patients : a humble , warm , caring spirit , with a backdrop of active advocacy . The spaces are designed to make everyone feel at home , and free to share their struggles and concerns related to the disease . Entering these spaces should feel like taking a breath of hope and resilience . The colour scheme is reduced to two colours : Pantone ’ s Kombu Green , which is an intense , intimate , complemented by Farrow and Ball ’ s Dimity , a fresher , yet equally hospitable shade . Signage incorporates the association ’ s fresh and dynamic colours . Furniture shapes are flowing and curved , and the materials are unpretentious but warm , with a focus on solid oak for many pieces .

Sheer curtains create a sense of lightness and breath , while creating a subtle play of transparency on the ground floor . On the first floor , the offices adopt the same warm and humble character as the ground floor , but with more of an official touch .
