french architect paul coudamy designed a new office space for beartech
an internet hosting office in paris. the 'bears cave' is organized in three different
spaces for working, leisure and meeting areas. the back space is emphasized
by parisian rock and brick walls creating a solid and mineral atmosphere.
a honeycomb cardboard bench creates a low separation between the meeting room
and the working spaces. the cavern walls are created using wood waste pieces
collected in dumpsters, sidewalks and wastelands.
