The old premises of the successful Geneva agency Enigma in tranquil Carouge had truly become too cramped in the long run. In autumn 2018, they found a suitable property in a very central location near Geneva's main station, Cornavin. Spatially, however, it had a number of problem areas that needed to be resolved.
We developed a spatial concept that clarifies the entire entrance area with a simple but highly efficient trick: by relocating the small staircase onto the existing platform, both a welcome area and a relatively private meeting room could be created.
The materialisation was also tailored to the client. The high standards of the agency itself as well as those of its clientele led to a combination of high-quality surfaces that reflects its branding.
