A Renovation Aligned With a Social Mission

Petites-Mains supports immigrant women facing cultural, religious or financial barriers as they work toward professional reintegration. The renovation aimed to give the organization spaces that reflect its values of solidarity, creativity and collective strength, while improving comfort and functionality for staff and participants. Each zone, from the main entrance to the administrative offices and the participant room, was redesigned to support daily activities and create a welcoming environment.

Design Approach and Key Features

The concept relied on soft forms, natural materials and an enveloping palette of green, nude and terracotta tones. Arches, curves and organic textures were used to soften the existing architecture. The exterior renovation included new fenestration, a repainted awning, updated signage and new lighting, giving the façade a more visible and inviting presence on the street.

Inside, a rounded reception counter anchors the entrance, complemented by a custom graphic mural and a library integrated into the waiting area. The result is a cohesive setting designed to carry the organization's identity across every space.

"Working alongside an organization with such a strong social mission gave the project a clear sense of purpose," said Sophie Roy, owner and lead designer at Rübik Design. "The objective was to create spaces that feel warm and human while supporting the daily work of the people who use them."
