SMARIN is a creative studio developing design projects in the form of objects, installations or exhibitions. His work is particularly attached to the choice of materials that will be handled in order to provide innovative objects. An artist’s studio must reflect his creative spirit, from architectural design to the selection of materials, all must participate in his artistic awakening.

The SMARIN workshops are present in several cities around the world, the city of Nice, hosts one of these workshops located in the port district. The project includes the renovation of the existing building as well as the demolition and reconstruction of an annex area. The main building is divided into two parts, one for users and a second for staff. The workshop is organized so that the public space is at the center of the private space.

The part to be rebuilt is at the entrance to the workshop so that any visitor can walk past. The design of this space was thought of as a window on the city.
