At Arte Charpentier, we believe that the future is also built by valuing what already exists. We invite you to discover four emblematic projects where rehabilitation rhymes with innovation, sustainability and adaptation to tomorrow’s uses. Each building reveals a unique potential: modernization, energy performance, openness to the city and redesigned living spaces.

Reinventing the Studios of Bry-sur-Marne
Arte Charpentier is rehabilitating the Studios of Bry-sur-Marne, an emblematic site designed more than 40 years ago to support the evolution of the film industry.
The project enhances the existing in order to modernize and expand the facilities, workshops, and logistics spaces.
A new central HUB brings together dressing rooms, multipurpose spaces, offices and dressing-makeup-hairdressing areas, facilitating circulation and exchanges.
The extension of the site reinforces production capacities with new trays and redesigned logistics.
The transformation is part of a sustainable and landscaped approach, for more efficient studios focused on tomorrow’s uses.

Mission: Architecture and landscape

Sequana – When the base becomes the heart of the project
With Sequana, Arte Charpentier makes the choice to transform the existing rather than adding buildings. The project reveals the potential of the pedestal, long underused, to make it a living, landscaped and unifying space.
A planted central breakthrough now connects the Panhard-Levassor quay to the rue des Frigos, opening the building onto the city. Vegetated terraces ensure the transition between ground floor and garden level and create new informal workspaces.
The garden level becomes the heart of the site, bringing together collaborative spaces, catering and meeting places. Green roofs extend this approach by offering biodiversity, freshness and new uses.

SHIFT – Rehabilitate to reinvent
With SHIFT, Arte Charpentier is rehabilitating a building designed in the 90s, now the headquarters of Nestlé France, to make it a real living space open to the city. The project transforms the existing to renew uses and create an active and shared centrality.
The facades are redesigned for greater transparency and dialogue with Paris and Issy-les-Moulineaux, while an inner street East–West restores urban continuity. At the heart of the building, an 8-level atrium becomes a space for circulation, meeting and exchange.
The flexible work platforms, bathed in natural light, are accompanied by patios, terraces and green roofs, integrating nature at all levels.
SHIFT illustrates how the transformation of the existing can become a sustainable and evolving real estate model.

Palatin 1 – An energy rehabilitation
At La Défense, Arte Charpentier intervenes 25 years after the delivery of Palatin 1 for a targeted rehabilitation of its envelope, with a clear objective: to improve image, comfort and energy performance without demolishing.
On this project, the facade becomes a major lever of transformation. The original granite and glazing are replaced by a more efficient envelope, while maintaining the existing aluminum framework. New efficient openings and passive solar protections reinforce the comfort and energy sobriety of the building.
With Palatin 1, light and low carbon rehabilitation reveals how the existing can become an engine of performance, modernity and sustainability.
