Project description Cepovett (pdf, 1.30 MB)

This is a project for the extension and redevelopment of the Cepovett's head office, the French head of professional clothing, located in Gleizé, in the Rhône.

The original building, built 15 years ago by aum, consists of 400 m² of offices and two warehouses of 5000 m². It was necessary to modify and enlarge this existing set in order to add 1800 m² of offices and 5000 m² of warehouse.The office building is organized around several areas of activity grouped into an open space around an atrium. The building meets the requirements of the clients: it is ultra-functional, bright and intelligent.

Description

The idea behind the new project was to cut the existing office building in two and create a notch inside the storage, revealing two intimate patios, visible only by the occupants of the building and offering a generous amount of light inside the offices. Indeed, the control of all its technical parameters is centralized and automated. In addition, smart building management allows employees to be connected to company buildings, which allows, for example, room occupancy planning for optimized space management.

Challenge

In order to improve the integration of the head office into its site it was necessary to modify the access to the buildings whose existing entrance turned their backs on the main axis of the village. The project was organized in two phases: the creation of an extension and the redevelopment of the existing portion; the strong constraint being the maintenance of the activity of the company during the 18 months of construction. The architecture of the building is based on a mixed structure of steel and self-placing white concrete whose first floor is dressed with a white Ductal® concrete mesh. The technique of a mixed framework was chosen to allow both a certain technical fluidity and the incorporation of aesthetic elements into the design.
