With its large windows, street-facing lobby, terraces and floors flooded with natural light, the new complex fosters dialogue with its surroundings. 

To preserve the site’s architectural heritage, its original roofs, facades, staircases, courtyards, were maintained and restored.

The core and all technical facilities were moved to provide service to all levels and create large, open, highly flexible office spaces.

The wall between the two buildings was opened up to create connections and facilitate circulation between the different levels.

Transitional stairways were designed to include bleacher seating that make them a central place for encountering and dialoguing with fellow employees.

STUDIOS implemented a series of design, construction and material selection processes that allowed it to adapt the 19th-century buildings to today’s environmental requirements. These efforts have been recognized by the HQE Exceptional and BREEAM Excellent certifications and the BBC Effinergie label.
