The Howden Project is a creative office interior design project in La Défense, Paris, developed for a workspace focused on collaboration, flexibility, and a more engaging daily experience.

​

This project was developed in collaboration with LevelUp Paris Studio (Claudia Ducet) and the Renderistic Timișoara team (Buiciuc Vanessa).

​

Through 3D interior rendering services and architectural visualization, the project explores how colour, form, and lighting can transform a traditional office into a more dynamic and interactive workspace.

Concept: Playful Modern Office Design

This project is built around a creative office design approach, where traditional corporate layouts are reimagined through colour, flexible zones, and hospitality-inspired elements.

​

Bold accents, graphic shelving, and open lounge areas create a workspace that feels energetic, adaptable, and easy to use. The result is an environment designed to encourage both productivity and spontaneous interaction.

Furniture & Spatial Design

The furniture is soft, rounded, and influenced by mid-century modern aesthetics. Lounge seating features relaxed proportions, while modular sofas are designed to support informal meetings and collaboration.

​

Dining and café areas introduce lighter elements with wooden frames and clean lines, creating a balance between social and functional zones.

​

Through photorealistic rendering, the project highlights how different areas support both individual work and team interaction.

Material & Colour Palette

Colour plays a central role in defining the identity of the space.

​

Warm base tones such as cream, beige, sand, and honey wood create a soft foundation, while accents like terracotta, rust, and coral introduce depth and personality. Cooler tones, including cobalt and navy blue, add contrast and visual rhythm.

​

This combination creates a lively and well-balanced workspace that feels both expressive and comfortable.

Lighting Design

Lighting is used to support both functionality and visual identity.

​

Pendant lights create more intimate zones within social areas, while track and ceiling lighting provide consistent illumination across the workspace. Integrated lighting elements highlight key architectural features and add depth to the overall composition.

​

This layered approach ensures that colour and materials remain the focal points of the design.

Workspace & Collaboration Areas

The workspace is designed to encourage movement, interaction, and flexibility.

​

Open layouts, lounge seating, and clearly defined zones create a natural flow between focused work and informal collaboration. This approach helps improve communication while maintaining an efficient workflow.
