For over a year now, the staff of Australian bank Macquarie have been working in their French headquarters on the Champs-Élysées Marcel-Dassault traffic circle, and know from experience what it's like to enjoy daylight in the office. Chambers Architects has made a point of letting them benefit from natural daylight as much as from the exceptional view [...].

This question has recently arisen for many of our customers, who are faced with growing or changing workforces, particularly since the boom in teleworking.

Already present at La Défense in the Promenade and the Paroi Nord of the Grande Arche, IÉSEG, an internationally-renowned management school, will soon be taking over most of Les Collines de l'Arche.
