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.

MAJOR TRANSFORMATION OF BRY’S STUDIOS

The Bry Studios, located on 12 hectares, are being renovated to meet the growing demand for film and audiovisual production infrastructure. Supported by the France 2030 plan, this strategic project aims to modernize and double filming capacities with the creation of seven new sets, workshops, storage spaces and multipurpose rooms.

The «Hub», central entry point, will ensure the logistical connection of the site. A covered pedestrian street and a logistics street will facilitate travel.

The completion of work is scheduled for 2027, consolidating Bry Studios as a major center of audiovisual creation in France.

A FRUGAL REHABILITATION ON A OCCUPIED SITE

At the heart of Le Raincy, this social housing and senior residence project illustrates the transformation of existing buildings towards carbon neutrality. The old vacant offices, built in 1957, are rehabilitated to accommodate housing adapted for elderly people.

Located in the heart of a block, within a dense urban fabric, the site required a major restructuring carried out on an occupied site, while maintaining the activity of the Orange premises.

The old shop on Allée Gambetta is converted into an extension of social housing, in the architectural continuity of neighboring buildings. A second extension, located at the alignment of Avenue de la Résistance, completes the built front and fills the existing hollow tooth.
