Ecrin Saint-Honoré

The customer wanted to convert the balcony of his Paris office to create an elegant and functional outdoor space for every member of staff.

Imagine a haven of peace hidden away in the heart of Paris, on rue Saint-Honoré, where every lawyer can take a few steps from his or her office to discover a meticulously landscaped outdoor area, a true extension of their workplace. Each member of staff has his or her own private space, with no facing neighbors, and enjoys a personal view. On this elegant balcony, conceived as a bubble of serenity, receiving customers in the open air becomes a pleasure, while preserving the harmony of the premises. Every detail has been meticulously designed to offer a pleasant view and a discreet yet enchanting flow.

The choice of colors was naturally blue, the company’s emblematic hue, and it was with particular care that we collaborated with the prestigious pot manufacturers Atelier Vierkant and Domani to obtain the exact RAL. The deep blue Tuuci parasols match this palette perfectly, creating a soothing, refined atmosphere.
To complete the picture, our trusted partner Ego Paris has designed an exclusive wall cladding, which dresses the terrace walls with the same finesse and elegance as their furniture, creating a striking aesthetic continuity. Their extendable tables invite conviviality, whether for a drink, brunch or business lunch. The cushions, by Kettal, dot the terrace with touches of comfort, designed to brave the seasons thanks to a weather-resistant fabric.

The meeting space, meanwhile, is beautifully complemented by Houe-brand eateries, enabling a larger number of people to be accommodated in a relaxed, modern atmosphere. The black wood floor, enhanced for a contemporary touch, is secured by glass railings, ensuring an unobstructed view of the outside, even while seated.

For the vegetation, we chose evergreen plants, evoking the charm of an English garden with olive trees, pines and camellias, creating a classic, timeless green setting. The lighting, by Les Jardins in the form of lanterns or sconces, is entirely solar-powered, blending discreetly into the décor, while the watering and lighting are subtly concealed beneath the terrace for an impeccable finish.

This project embodies a perfect symphony between nature and architecture, where every detail has been carefully thought out to create an enchanting outdoor space. Here, elegance, comfort and functionality combine harmoniously, offering a place of serenity and beauty that invites contemplation and conviviality. It’s an urban sanctuary where you can recharge your batteries, while still being at the heart of Paris’s dynamism, a veritable jewel where the art of living is revealed at every turn.
