The “Underwater” Office
The award-winning TechnipFMC office transports visitors into the technical world that references the client’s business. The architects at The Design Group succeeded in creating a space that captures the atmosphere of the underwater depths and TechnipFMC’s maritime ventures, while at the same time suiting the precise minds of the engineers working there. It stands out with its unusual construction divided into 4 levels that reference the company’s activities. The most important element is the so-called void – an open space integrating floors 2, 3 and 4 with floor 1 through glazing. The void zone is decorated with an installation made of 1,000 small glass balls – the Subsea Tree, TechnipFMC’s flagship product.
