Rehabilitate in high-rise in Paris

Rethinking an urban icon

Arte Charpentier is supporting the transformation of a high-rise building in the Maine-Montparnasse sector, built in the 1970s and accommodating up to 3,000 users spread over 15 levels.

Located directly above the station, this architectural ensemble today suffers from difficult access and a lack of connection with its urban environment. In a heritage enhancement approach, the project aims to improve access flows, create friendly living spaces and renew the architectural identity of the building.

Among the tracks currently under study are the creation of a double-height hall, the opening of a second access on rue du Commandant-Mouchotte, the development of additional surfaces, as well as the requalification of the Vasarely glass roof, carried out in collaboration with Gare & Connexions.

Make dialogue between heritage and innovation

Rehabilitation of building VI

The project to transform the UNESCO Miollis site in Paris offers a new interpretation of this architectural icon designed by Bernard Zehrfuss. Recognized for its boldness and the purity of its forms, the building crosses eras by asserting a modernity always current.

Arte Charpentier conducted a technical and architectural analysis mission to imagine a second life for this iconic site. The rehabilitation aims to reconcile the well-being of workspaces, energy optimization and UNESCO’s institutional outreach. Respectful of the history of the place, the intervention allows a fluid transformation while maintaining the activity of the site. This ambitious metamorphosis illustrates the dialogue between architecture and innovation, at the service of the values promoted by UNESCO.

Located at 203–205 rue Carnot in Fontenay-sous-Bois, the CAP EST complex is being restructured in two phases, aiming to improve its attractiveness and user comfort.

Phase 1: renovation and extension of halls A Vincennes and B Plaisance, with large bay windows, wooden fittings and a green terrace, to create friendly and bright reception areas.

Phase 2: densification of offices and addition of services (business center, wellness and fitness areas, bike rooms). The modular spaces extend the contemporary writing of the halls and offer comfort and flexibility, with stairs treated as architectural elements.

The project adopts a sustainable approach, conserving existing volumes to limit the energy impact while optimizing costs and deadlines.

Near the historic center of Dijon, in the district of the train station, the Sigma tower is an office building built in 1974 by the architect H. Favre. The complex consists of two buildings: an 11-storey tower and a building in R+2 organized around an interior patio.

The project consists of rehabilitating the Sigma tower in order to adapt it to current uses, with a particular focus on energy performance. The rehabilitation introduces transparencies thanks to the architectural treatment of the facades, makes the accesses more legible and takes care of the landscaping.

The objective of the project is to restore a strong tertiary identity to the building which, thanks to its 360-degree panoramic view over the entire urban area, stands as a signal marking the entrance to the city.

REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE – PEACE STREET

The project involves setting up the Paris representative office of a Swiss company specializing in trading in petroleum products.

The space has been arranged so as to favor the views and the use of terraces. Lacquer elements allow to reflect the light and project views on all sides of the meeting space.

The layout allows for two distinct workspaces while maintaining visual transparency. The choice of furniture contributes to establishing a friendly working atmosphere, in line with the identity and values of the company.

The space is divisible thanks to a set of electric blinds, also allowing to modulate the light variations of the two meeting spaces.

The property complex blends harmoniously into a mixed district combining offices, businesses and residences. The project aims for an ambitious thermal renovation, with energy savings objectives by 2040, 2050 and 2060.

Our commitment goes beyond aesthetic considerations: an improvement in energy performance of 60%, in line with the requirements of the tertiary decree, is planned. The facades will be equipped with prefabricated modules combining wood, zinc and high-performance glazing. Fixed, functional and durable sunshades will regulate natural light while effectively protecting from summer solar radiation.

Outside, partial green coverage, modernized fences and electric vehicle charging stations will contribute to enhancing the urban environment. It is a rehabilitation respectful of the original identity of the building, inscribed in a dynamic of sustainable transformation, making the building a living entity fully integrated into the city.

IMAGINE AN OPEN AND HARMONIOUS ARCHITECTURE

Located on the edge of the A86, this set adopts a rectangular plan structured around a central recess, inspired by ancient buildings.

The monumental fissure of the main facade reveals an elliptical landscaped patio, heart of the project and terrace of the company restaurant. Covered with exotic wood and planted with pine trees and perennials, it creates a friendly and bright space. Composed of two buildings with nine floors of offices, the complex includes a basement with a restaurant, meeting rooms and storerooms, as well as three levels of parking. Two main halls, to the north and south, mark the accesses and lead to an oval atrium, crossed by a footbridge.

RETHINKING THE CITY: A SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT ISLAND

Integrating into the urban requalification of the neighborhood, this block revitalizes the commercial axis of Mirabeau Street while being part of the spirit of the garden city. Designed as a refined volume, it is distinguished by salient elements that animate its silhouette and by an envelope of glass and concrete offering transparency and durability in response to coastal constraints. Designed according to a bioclimatic approach, the project combines high-performance insulation, solar protection and functional vegetation, improving comfort and air quality. Certified “NF Tertiary Building – HQE” and labeled “Effinergie+”, it also incorporates anti-flood devices, ensuring optimal resilience.
