Connected, modern, innovative, with eco-responsible layouts and a rethought work organisation... everything has been designed to create a workspace that reflects the values of Banque Populaire Rives de Paris.

Olivier Garrocq, Director of Buildings, Logistics and Retail / Banque Populaire Rives De Paris

Opening up the building to the outside world to bring as much light as possible into the heart of the project was a priority. A new dialogue has been created between the living spaces, the views over the urban landscape and the terraces, which have been landscaped and planted to enhance the well-being of the occupants.

Jérôme Le Gall, associate architect / Arte Charpentier

For me, this project was first and foremost a wonderful story of men and women, a great team, united despite the difficulties and highly motivated. Our great pleasure was to see the staff of Banque Populaire Rives de Paris move in on the right day, without delay and in the good working conditions expected.

The development of a common vegetation strategy for the archipelago of terraces and patios creates a network of vegetation that enhances biodiversity.

generously planted terraces distributed over 5 levels.

The light tones and luminous materials used in the various living areas combine seamlessly with a multitude of scenarios... with the 62 other colours of the architectural polychromy.

Stéphane Quigna, interior architect / Arte Charpentier

The façade is light and reflective, so as to remain unobtrusive in the Parisian landscape. The 'double skin' solution captures as much natural light as possible, but also allows the building to be unobstructed during the summer months.

Concept

The new head office of Banque Populaire Rives de Paris is a renovation of an office building designed in the 1950s by the architect Adrien Brelet for Air France, then renovated by Christian de Portzamparc in 2003 for the editorial offices of the newspaper Le Monde.
For this new refurbishment, the office brought together all its expertise, from overall design (architecture, interior architecture, landscape) to management and supervision of the works. The building, located in the heart of Paris, offers 17,200 m² of workspace, spread over 9 floors.
These workspaces extend outside, with around 800 m² of terraces spread over 5 levels. Users benefit from fantastic views over the district and the rooftops of Paris. These landscaped areas also play a key role in encouraging the development of flora and fauna in the city.
Despite a complicated existing concrete skeleton, the teams opted for transformation rather than demolition and reconstruction: adjusting rather than replacing. It was with this environmental ambition that the office guided the architectural and technical design: implementation of a very high-performance thin double skin façade, reuse of rainwater and heat pumps.
While the remarkable silhouette of the building has remained the same, the new envelope makes it possible to meet both environmental challenges and the need for natural light. A “thin double skin” façade is used to meet two contradictory objectives: to capture as much natural light as possible, but also to protect against it during the warmer seasons. The teams designed a clear, transparent façade that allows the building to remain unobtrusive on the scale of the city, despite its height of 40 metres.
At street level, the building’s uses are revealed by a transparent façade and accessible terraces.
