Project : Development and restructuring of a commercial premises over 5 levels

Surface : Phase 1 – 285 m2,  phases 2+3 – 1 100 m2

Role : Local architect

Status: Completed

We worked as local architects on projects for showrooms and service centers in four French cities for the electric car manufacturer Vinfast.

In Paris, the project is in a building initially built as part of the Haussmannian urban restructuring program during the 19th century, requiring close collaboration with municipal heritage architects.
We discovered interior walls dating from the 17th century, as well as vaulted cellars built possibly even earlier. These historical layers made for exciting challenges in terms of engineering, while the proximity to the church of the Madeleine, a listed monument, meant respecting precise limits on the parameters of any changes to the exterior.
