The context
Grünenthal, a player in the pharmaceutical sector, wanted a headquarters that reflected its values: precision, transparency, rigour. The project, located at La Défense, had to offer bright, functional workspaces.
My role & the phases
A studio-support assignment for Ocellis Groupe across all phases: design (schematic and design development), the tender package (tender documents) and 3D visualisations for sign-off by management.
The approach & the 3D
The concept draws on the pharmaceutical world: clean surfaces, crisp lines, transparency. The 3D renders were used to present the project to management and to settle layout and material choices ahead of the contractor consultation.
Materials & light
Glazed partitions to let light flow through, white and pale-wood furniture, integrated signage. A bright, functional palette that conveys the clarity proper to the client's world.
The result
A bright, coherent headquarters, from the concept through to the technical package ready for contractor consultation. A project that illustrates my ability to carry a complete brief, from design to delivery, within a multidisciplinary team.
