Spicy Life deals mainly with two kinds of spaces: public spaces (reception area, exhibition, public building...), and professional spaces (workshops, hospitals, workrooms...).
Although use goals and users typologies differ, approaches and issues are similar: location lisibility, sensorial comfort matching the activities, movements savings and organization efficiency, atmosphere and spaces meanings.
We begin by identifying usage goals through a process of User Research and Service Design.
In situ observations notably provide an indentification of the limiting factors of the current spaces.
We then think of the spacial organization of the functional processes. This phase may be accompanied with models and user-tests.
Furthermore, we provide fitting-out specifications (perceived atmospheres, lights, acoustics...).
At this stage, an architect partner is involved to advise building processes and materials matching the preset specifications, and to rationalize the project cost.
Finally, the architect partner may lead the transforming work.
