It is said that we all have a child inside of us. Nevertheless, to stage a space for exploration dedicated to children aged 5 to 12, requires far more than going back to childhood especially when it is for the first time! The design was conceived in collaboration with "Atelier Jes". We have to invent everything in the form of reliable tools, with very specific requirements and numerous constraints: sorry dear little wonders and precious teenagers, you are a fearsome audience; the material must be robust with no room for mistakes. In return, we can give free rein to creativity and intuitiveness on this project, which accords well with our philosophy. As such spaces must be quite identifiable, visually speaking, a system consisting of large doors is designed for signage, “boulevards and highway ramps” direct the kids, without fear of getting lost in this huge space of 21528 Sq. Ft.
