VILLE L'EVEQUE
In the heart of Paris stands an architectural work of art that combines a modern aesthetic with a strong commitment to sustainability. It is Ville l'Evêque, an office building designed by renowned French firm RDAI Architecture. The building, located in the Central Business District, has undergone a complete renovation and is now a true jewel in the Parisian architectural landscape.
An icon in the heart of Paris
Ville l'Evêque is the result of the impeccable work of RDAI Architecture, a firm with a solid reputation for creating innovative and functional projects. This office building is strategically located in the heart of Paris' Central Business District. Its renovation involved the transformation of a structure dating back to 1967, extending the commercial space to more than 6,000 square meters.
What immediately strikes the observer is the Ville l'Evêque façade. The project features prismatic elements that pose a challenge in terms of both design and installation. These metal volumes create a modern rhythm in the construction, lending style and elegance to the building while contributing to thermal insulation and solar control. Ville l'Evêque is a building with a strong sustainable vocation. Thanks to cutting-edge energy choices, it has achieved the prestigious and internationally recognized HQE Excellent certification.
AZA's role in this project
AZA played a key role in the renovation of the building envelope, providing the façade and metal cladding. This work contributed greatly to the aesthetics and performance of the building.
The façade, seamlessly integrated with the prismatic geometries, creates a sense of continuity and visual clarity, giving the building an elegant and contemporary appearance. However, functionality goes hand in hand with aesthetics. The use of high-quality materials and state-of-the-art construction techniques means that Ville l'Evêque also excels in terms of energy efficiency.
Sustainability as a priority
Ville l'Evêque demonstrates that sustainability and modern architecture can successfully coexist. The building was designed with a number of features that make it a model of eco-sustainability. The thermal insulation provided by the facade and solar control provide significant energy savings, reducing the building's environmental impact.
The HQE Excellent certification testifies to Ville l'Evêque's commitment to reducing its environmental footprint and promoting a healthy and sustainable work environment.
