L'Hydro
Project management support for the design of multimedia content
L’Hydro – Maritime Museum embodies the history of Saint-Malo and its historical connection with the ocean. Its mission is to pass on, preserve and promote maritime heritage by highlighting the great epics of navigation, trade and exploration. The architectural renovation was entrusted to Philippe Prost Architecture. The exhibition design for the permanent exhibition was entrusted to Designer Unit. The museum is scheduled to open in 2028.
Since 2025, Reciproque and Kantara have been supporting the teams at L’Hydro in defining, structuring and designing the audiovisual content, multimedia and digital elements of the visitor experience.
Our mission is to ensure consistency between the project’s scientific and cultural ambitions, the visitor experience, the exhibition design choices and the technical solutions deployed.
It begins with a scoping phase to share the project’s vision, scientific, cultural and experiential objectives, as well as programmatic, scheduling, budgetary and technical constraints. This stage enables the establishment of clear governance, a shared schedule and appropriate collaborative tools.
reciproque is involved at an early stage to define the mediation objectives, structure and refine the synopses, identify use cases and user journeys, and then support the client in tender phase.
The team then oversees production, coordinates stakeholders, monitors the editorial and technical quality of the systems, and anticipates long-term operational and maintenance requirements.
