As the headquarters of a major worldwide tech company, this renovation project carries high expectations, reflecting both ambition and innovation. Located at the heart of a campus surrounded by satellite buildings, it involves an intricate blend of preserving and remodeling a historical structure while seamlessly integrating a modern addition. With limited square meters and an expansive program to accommodate, every design decision must be strategic and purposeful.
The project seeks to capitalize on the unique synergy between the elegance of a historic Parisian building and the cutting-edge spirit of a global tech leader. This duality offers an extraordinary opportunity to weave together the intricate richness of Parisian architectural details with the vibrant, playful, and colorful essence of the company’s brand identity.
The result aims to be a dynamic space that honors its cultural context while projecting a forward-thinking, innovative character—a landmark that embodies both the city’s timeless charm and the brand’s creative vision.
