May of 2009, the French office Projectiles was contacted by an unusual carpenter. An art collector mesmerized by sailboats entrusted the architects Reza Azard, Hervé Bouttet and Daniel Mészàros with a creation of an office complex that would expand his workshop in Epone, France. At that time two 1500 m² large workrooms, situated 20 metres apart from each other, stood at his property and its back was unoccupied. The architects placed their design between those two objects, effectively connecting them, and further branched the offices towards the unoccupied end of the lot.
The offices are elevated 4 metres above the ground, inside objects of different shapes and sizes, resting upon roughly hewn stilts. The new objects are interconnected by sheltered foot bridges. The office construction, including the window frames, is made of timber. An arboretum with twenty trees of various species turns the office and workshop complex into a very pleasant environment.
