The main challenge in relocating the company's 800 employees was to create a new, dynamic and collaborative workplace. Set in a state-of-the-art building designed by Sir Norman Foster, with its curves, magnificent views and spacious terraces, the project is a match for the client's ambitions. With shared workstations and an agile working mode, the project provides multiple areas for discussion and collaboration. The co-working lounge, located alongside the cafeteria and conference centre, has become the nerve centre of the site. Each floor and each room has its own identity within a unified whole. The belvederes and auditoriums, original designs for this site, maximise the views and use of the terraces.
