Designing a generic office building is not an enviable task, especially
since the developer’s preference for the largest flexible floor area
often trumps architectural expression. However, the latest office
building by Architectures Anne Démians
– located in Paris’ 17th arrondissement – proves that generic
programming does not necessarily lead to a banal outer appearance.
A
130-m-long rectangular volume, the building stands on a disused rail
yard which the French National Railway Company has designated for
redevelopment. ‘RÉZO is part of the “bureau blancs” typology,
essentially open spaces where walls have been eliminated and the
building can accommodate any programme,’ explains Anne Démians.
The
shimmering metallic façade, where bands of aluminium panels alternate
with perforated screens, might echo the streamlined trains that run on
the adjacent tracks, but the structure’s silhouette, as well as its
open, transparent plinth is decidedly Parisian. ‘The project itself is
not discordant with its Haussmann neighbours; it has the same
compactness as its neighbours, and matches their typical roofline,’
Démians says.
Furthermore, the perforated aluminium screens
ensure a degree of privacy, prevent solar glare and stop excessive heat
gains through the 1.8-m-tall windows. Each prospect has its own,
optimised amount of perforations, and the east, south and west façades
integrate electric blinds ‘The façade design assures that workspaces
inside are distinct and bright and the filtered view through the
cladding contributes to an atmosphere of calm and concentration,’ the
architect points out, adding that the compact volume of the building,
combined with its responsive skin, means that the building has passed
the stringent environmental regulations with flying colours.
