Inventons la Metropole de Grand Paris, new office building
Atelier Kempe Thill has recently won the European competition for a new innovative office building in the largest series of competitions for city planning, architecture and public space: “Inventons la Metropole de Grand Paris”.
The new office building next to the Boulevard Périphérique at Porte d’Italie will provide the Paris headquarter for Group Pichet, flexible office spaces for start – up firms, ateliers, Fab – Labs, café – restaurant and agriculture on the roof. The building has a double glass façade for acoustic protection against the traffic noise and horizontal bands of a green façade.
The opening of the new building is scheduled for 2021. The site is located in the development area ZAC Paul Bourget that is now still partially being occupied by social housing from the 1950’s and will be set – up completely anew with housing and office projects.
