The Patio · Hexas

A garden–furniture system invites staff to take a breather in the patio of the Hôtel de Police building.

Each hexagon is made from hemp-crop residues and lime, forming a solid, durable block.

The finishing coat is a lime render, coloured through with natural ochres, which gives a soft, luminous surface.

The intrinsic properties of these materials create a naturally cool oasis.

This mode of production aims to reduce the carbon footprint, support a circular economy, and promote local know-how.
