The iconic ‘57 Métal’ industrial building has been transformed into ‘Métal 57,’ a cutting-edge tertiary space situated across from La Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt. Originally designed by Claude Vasconi for Renault in the 1980s, the building has undergone a significant renovation and extension by Dominique Perrault to serve as the headquarters of BNP Paribas Real Estate. This versatile and hybrid space spans 37,000 m² and includes offices, meeting rooms, a 285-seat auditorium, as well as an ‘interior street’ featuring a gym and cafés-restaurants. Métal 57 exemplifies the modern post-COVID office environment. BNP Paribas Real Estate shares this dynamic space with tenants such as Kronenbourg, Henkel, and Odigo.
