1. The Project & the Clients

The clients wanted to open a real estate agency combined with an interior architecture studio. Their ambition: to create a professional, aesthetic, and welcoming space that would reflect both their brand identity and architectural sensibility. To do this, they took on the bold challenge of setting up their business in a former bakery.

2. The Challenge

The challenge was twofold: to transform a commercial space with a very distinctive past into a contemporary workplace, and to integrate all the essential functions of a modern agency. The space had to be fluid, optimized, warm, and efficient, able to accommodate open-space workstations, executive offices, multiple enclosed meeting rooms, a virtual tour room, restrooms… all within a relatively limited original footprint.

3. The Solution

The project was designed according to the principles of space planning, with particular attention paid to ergonomics, flow, natural light, and the overall experience — for both clients and team members. A mezzanine was added, providing an extra 70 m² and allowing the space to be clearly divided into functional zones.

Every detail was considered to enhance productivity and workplace well-being:

• Fully wired workstations (electricity, Internet)
• Storage solutions optimized for each function
• Strategic placement of printers and shared equipment
• Soundproof meeting room
• Windowless virtual tour room
• Full sanitary facilities including a shower
• Comfortable, functional dining area

In terms of design, the interior layout was conceived with a strong architectural identity, featuring raw materials (wood, metal, concrete, bricks,), interior finishes such as wallpaper, wood flooring, carpet, and paint, a home-like decorative approach, and the intentional exposure of structural elements. The color palette was chosen to echo the agency’s visual identity, creating a cohesive atmosphere where architecture, décor, and brand image come together seamlessly.

4. The Transformation

The former bakery has given way to a professional, fluid, and inspiring space. It now hosts up to 10 workstations, 4 enclosed offices, an executive office, and all the amenities needed for daily operations.
Feedback has been unanimous: both clients and staff appreciate a space that is beautiful, functional, comfortable, and warm. This is a fully thought-out agency, where nothing has been left to chance — a true working and communication tool in the service of an ambitious business vision.
