Rhyme Birthday Four Years Old

The Christmas Gift The Hive



The Beehive at the Canal Saint-Martin, who says
better?


A tentative agreement was reached between the co-founders of La Ruche and Olivier Laffon, the founder of MAS (Maison des Associations in the 13th district) moved to The Hive dock Jemmapes in the premises it has acquired against payment of rent. Y coexist the open spaces for social entrepreneurs in The Hive, common areas (library, meeting rooms etc..) spacious and open spaces events to external organizations around sustainable development and social innovation. A coffee bar will probably fair Full st all.

The premises are original and have good potential,
including an indoor garden and a shop with direct access to the Canal (see cons). The Republic Square is ideal e tion to a few hundred yards away.

A ren t con re today between Charlotte Hochman, Arnaud Mourot, Aymeric Marmorat, M ichel Caleffi one hand, and Olivier Laffon Robert and Fred on the other, has Consolidated agreement in principle, to be followed early in January for a second working meeting to detail, a th time the foundations laid, contract details, including the nature and timing of the renovation. We share the vision of an ecological space and innovative to serve as a 'showroom' with original features in terms of saving energy, etc..

Opening of part of premises (or about 150 200m2) would be possible in March 2008 as promised, to accommodate contractors who have a time constraint, and the rest, with common areas in the coming months. From a temporal point of view as well as space, so that's a wonderful news.


A group visit with contractors will be held during January so that everyone can own the project, and to celebrate the building stone by stone from our little hive.


The Beehive team wishes all his bees warm and peaceful holiday and a wonderful year ahead, rich encounters and discoveries!

you soon at La Ruche ...

Elavil And Bladder Spa

design space

Many of you have recently contacted the hive to prepare the organization and learn more about the space that will be created to accommodate contractors.

What a joy to imagine all that space! The Workshop on 12 November has generated a lot of ideas on the configuration space, the type of common areas would be most useful and enjoyable, and about what kind of workstations to optimize both concentration and collaboration. What
ideas, that ideas! And yes, if you ask people to think, we should expect an avalanche of ideas ... And guess what, we want more!

Caleffi Michele, who coordinates the design space by combining renewable energy and design, absolutely wants to incorporate the ideas of entrepreneurs, architects and specialists in eco-building to create the Hive. No way to meet some good ideas on an autumn evening!

Feel free to submit your questions with love notes, ideas, suggestions, or strokes of genius rants ... constructive of course!

Reflection on the design space Beehive takes place already within the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT ), which is attached Michele, Wales, a reference center for research on everything key to 'sustainable architecture'.
interested in the approach of The Hive on the subject, or just anxious to know what to do with your belongings when you leave your office to integrate Beehive?
