Situated in Paris, in a splendid Haussmann
building, the Reuters headquarters has undergone full refurbishment of its
lobby, reception, board room, cafeteria, restaurant and central indoor garden,
which was carried out by the French studio 16k architectes.

Specialising
in the outfitting, refurbishing and conversion of office spaces, head offices
and company restaurants, this group of architects aimed here at creating
high-performance communal areas, with the use of long-lasting, hard-wearing
materials, particularly resistant to fire, but also innovative, in terms of
their pliability and styling.
A must-have
for architects and interior designers, HI-MACS® was once again the
choice material for the implementation of this prestigious Parisian project.
This material in fact boasts a host of qualities, both aesthetic and technical
and it was therefore used here to create the reception desk and the pods making
up the waiting area.

A high quality material
One of the main requirements for this project was the use of durable
material which was especially fire resistant, in order to comply with the
applicable safety regulations. HI-MACS® and its M1 classification –
non flammable – complied with this requirement perfectly.

The
architects were also taken with its thermoformability and therefore its ability
to create the most original shapes. The pods feature voluptuous and soft
shapes, all rounded, giving the waiting
area a sense of conviviality.
Indeed,
HI-MACS® is ideal for a lobby or waiting room where one is forced to
pass the time, since it is a warm and silky smooth material, which is extremely
pleasant to touch and hence highly
appealing.
The architects
picked the colour white offered by HI-MACS®, due to its light
refraction quality, which makes the venue much brighter.

1930s style for interiors filled with
personality

These many qualities make this Solid Surface the ideal material for outfitting
the sophisticated settings of this Haussmann building, specifically the
reception lobby and transit zones. Featuring an Oriental and exotic style with
1930s inspiration, the vegetation is imposing here, with a large number of palm
trees which form a single whole with the pods made of HI-MACS®. This
makes for a genuine landscape effect which opens up new perspectives and new
movements in space.
