Chambers Architects has been appointed as project manager and local architect for the renovation of this building, the former archives of the Ministry of the French Navy, located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The project involves an ambitious renovation of a historic building to bring the site up to the same high standards as Salesforce's other sites. Structural work, complete renovation of the HVAC installations and the creation of a leafy terrace garden are just some examples of the extensive works planned. The PVP classification of the building and its sensitive location mean that a number of administrative authorisations have to be obtained working closely with the Paris Urban Planning Department. To achieve this, Chambers Architects undertook a historical study and a risk study to support the studies for converting the office building into a category 2 ERP. Chambers Architects is responsible for all phases of the project, from the initial planning stage through to handover.
