52 Champs Elysées Paris, France 2017

Certifications : HQE Exceptionnel, BREEAM Very Good

52 avenue des Champs Elysées. Former Parisian headquarters of the National City Bank of New York built in the early 1930s, once home to a Prisunic, a cinema and then the Virgin Megastore, the building is completing its transformation after a major renovation. The project superimposes three distinct and autonomous programs in a period setting: commercial spaces, including street shops (5,000 m²) and a 10,000 m² shell fitted out from ground floor to ground floor for ‘Les Galeries Lafayette’ ; 10,000 m² office space rented to Chanel ; and a rooftop restaurant. In the washrooms, the walls were covered with white Corian for a very refined and luminous effect. The R361 electronic mixer was chosen for the basin tops, and the R370 for the disabled washbasins.  All in brushed stainless steel for a perfect combination with the Corian.
