THE HEADQUARTERS · ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX
Bridge: an “indoor city” on the Seine
Bridge faces the Île Saint-Germain at the Issy bridge. VIGUIER describes two buildings around a public pedestrian space: a new office building with a 15-metre glass cantilever, and a refurbished Eiffel-style covered market with coworking spaces, shops and restaurants open to the public. Inside, a landscaped atrium with suspended volumes runs the length of the building; office floors extend onto planted balconies and two levels of planted roofs, under three wide glass roofs. Wood, metal, stone and concrete were chosen for their raw look. Orange says the building has only eight floors to make the company more horizontal, with open spaces where people meet in more or less formal settings, from flex office to individual “bubbles”.
