$10K - 50K
For the renovation of the Paris Nord station, AREP has imagined a new form of architecture which redefins the archetypal train shed.
With the Horizon 2024 project, AREP has imagined and designed a more legible and uncluttered station, one that is open to the city and meets real needs with simplicity. The new station's contemporary and environmentally engaged architecture reflects the ayout of the grand train sheds and encourages different types of mobility. The rehabilitation by AREP’s
multidisciplinary project teams invented a new archetype of trains sheds: one that is simple and frugal, produces solar-powered energy and dialogues with the contemporary glass roof while being in keeping with the vocabulary of the historic grand trains sheds. Opening up onto a new forecourt and bathed in natural light, it accommodates more than 1,000 secure bicycle spaces.
Its timber-latticed façade allows to see through it while at its upper, partly coloured, part one can see the climatic chronology of Paris from 1850 to 2024, an allusion to the climate stripes. The new forecourt has been rethought to act as a new urban focal point and an eco-friendly passenger area, with green
spaces and a light-coloured, high-albedo floor using recaimed materials. In the extension of this new intermodal space, the transport operators' premises have been integrated
into the timber façade that runs along the entire forecourt. An urban logistics hub dedicated to last kilometre deliveries, complements the scheme to give back to the station its function of public space in the heart of the city.
AREP Group's mission
Design of a solar bicycle hall and upgrading of the bus eco-station,
improvement of pedestrian routes and intermodal connections
Environmental metrics and solutions – EMC2B:
Energy
• 25% reduction in energy consumption for lighting
• 8% reduction in energy consumption of escalators• 5% reduction in energy consumption of lifts
• Photovoltaic panels: 150 MWh / year (bicycle hall)
Materials
• Reuse: glass from the Beaubourg caterpillar escalator, transformed
SNCF reception desk, parquet flooring...
• Implementation of a circular management of materials (identifiation
of resources in connection with a reuse platform)
• Guidelines for a sustainable construction site
Carbon
• More than 1,200 bicycle parking spaces (bicycle hall)
• Pedestrian-dedicated areas increased by 17% (ecostation)
• Urban logistics hub dedicated to last-kilometre deliveries
Climate
• Rainwater harvesting (bicycle hall)
• Improvement of the average albedo: 0.35 (+120%)
• Surface of roof dedicated to water harvesting: 300 sqm
• Increase in pervious surfaces by 11%
Biodiversity
• New green spaces and green roofs on 70% of the new free-standing structures, not including photovoltaic panels
