The brief for 7, rue de Madrid, Paris was to transform a 19th century Jesuit school into a modern office building. The challenge was to develop functional, high-tech co-working spaces in compliment to, and in harmony with, the existing structure's heterogeneous palimpsest of historical additions.
The first move was to demolish three out of the four parking levels that filled the interior courtyard and to put a garden in their place. The demolition lowered the courtyard below grade and thus brought natural light into two basement levels, converting them into qualitative surface areas. The new stone-clad façades for uncovered base of the building ring the courtyard and create a unified pedestal for the various constructions above.
New mechanical systems and circulations link the existing buildings creating an overall coherence that does not seek to erase the serendipity and accidental juxtapositions of the historical place.
Under the eaves, an attic space was transformed into a double height glass gallery, with sun protection provided by metal louvers in a reinterpretation of the surrounding zinc Parisian rooftops. The gallery opens onto a terrace that provides a space for photovoltaic panels and a garden with striking views of the Parisian skyline.
A three-story new wooden construction is nestled into a residual space behind the main courtyard. A cabin in the city.
