STUDIOS was selected as the design and programming consultant for the relocation and consolidation of an international entertainment company's French headquarters. During the programming phase, STUDIOS interviewed top management and compiled a client brief and space plan documentation that served as the project's foundation. A "kit of parts" was developed so that STUDIOS could design and validate the building blocks of the project at a very early stage, including typical office, meeting, and support space configurations.

The design reflects the company's corporate image and standards while meeting budgetary objectives and respecting the local culture. Light boxes, soft seating and curvilinear forms in communal spaces and interstitial areas between the different business divisions encourage interaction between neighbors. Yellow, orange and red highlights compliment neutral grays and natural wood finishes to create individual color schemes on each floor. Flat panel TVs, display cases and picture rails showcase the company's diverse video, publishing and consumer products.
Following the Paris-area project, STUDIOS was invited by the client to design two other new-office sites, in Brussels and Amsterdam.
