Microsoft Office, France

Headquarters and place of innovation, the Microsoft Campus near Paris brings together 1,700 of the company’s employees. Labelled high environmental quality, it reflects the desire of Microsoft France for sustainable development, whilst offering an innovative working environment for its employees. The spaces, designed by Form’a, are focused on «working differently» to foster creativity and friendly relations between different departments. Spaces adapt to different ways of working, whether they work as individuals or teams, nomadic or sedentary, formal or informal.

Signage, installed in various colours dependent on its area of the campus and the function of the space, contributes to this comfortable, lively and highly communicative fit-out. The choice of carefully applied colours on the partitions is followed through to the subtle shades present on the chairs in the ultra modern meeting rooms, which can be easily booked over a hundred LCD screens available for the purpose. When the meeting is over, presence sensors automatically detect that the room is vacant.
