The new onze04 office is located at the Madeleine district in Nantes, in an old garage building. The refurbishment principle consisted of the addition of the agency's own designed layers (tables, shelters, lamps) to the existing constructive layers of the building (concrete beams, brick walls, terrazzo flooring). In addition to the historical furniture created by the office, we built a series of a new elements. The master piece, it’s a new suspended work table for 12 people: the "Ta-vola!, a 9-metre long laminated timber beam supporting the 7 crossbeams to which the large worktop is fixed.
