For Maastricht, the relationship with the environment was highlighted from the outset, starting with the office area. Secondly, the relationships between the office colleagues, through their geographical context were considered in the form of questions, phrases, words, etc. Device: two corridors opposite each other six metres long by one-and-a-half metres wide and two-and-a-half metres high. The glazing in each corridor are covered in green transparent film and on the ground, two imitation grass mats are placed with two armchairs on them, facing the windows. In the left-hand corridor,

there is an audio headset with a sound track composed by Nicolas Dechêne.
