CAP 3000

To let natural light into the spaces, Patrick Jouin ID pierce the ceilings with large openings in the shape of upside-down boats, to create shafts of light in the center and give a view of the sky.

With the help of lighting designer Hervé Audibert,  the studio imagined a bespoke light installation: organic shapes float in the space, interpreting what is known as "ocean snow", the sea dust found at the bottom of the oceans. These transparent, almost ethereal shapes create an impressive anamorphosis and form the Cap 3000 logo.

In the central square of CAP 3000, LED installations on supporting posts, walls and ceilings sparkle, inviting visitors to discover the center's second level.
There, sculptures on the ceilings echo the idea of the current and schools of fish with elegant, synchronized movements. Finally, the play of light between sky and sea is echoed on each of the mall's entrance doors. Here, large hammered stainless steel panels continue the metaphor of intertwined elements and the ceaseless movement of water.

All the furniture at Cap 3000 was designed by Patrick Jouin, who drew inspiration from the outdoor furniture usually found in ports or on boats, in order to continue the idea of the outdoors invited into the center's interior spaces. While the structures are made of concrete, the armchairs and sofas are covered in wood, creating a coherence with the materials used for the layout of the spaces and conveying a certain conviviality to the whole.

The spaces are united by a common architectural concept that links the different ambiences. The retail section is treated in an industrial style, with materials reminiscent of factories, such as gunmetal and brass. The micro-structure is the common thread running through the project, moving from the retail to the bar and restaurant areas, changing materiality while retaining its form. In this way, the tubular structure of the restaurant and bar, treated in galvanized steel, becomes the support for shelves as in the retail space, but is also used to display and store manufacture products and decorative elements.
