Crafting a unifying space within a landmark tower
WTW is a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company focusing on risk, insurance and human capital solutions. M Moser partnered with WTW on the design and delivery of its new Paris office in the prestigious Hekla Tower.
The office relocation unifies WTW’s Paris operations into a space that supports its hybrid workforce.
Key highlights
A workplace that supports how WTW works today.
Designing the office interior to achieve LEED 'Gold' accreditation.
Providing a range of different work points across 91,000 sq ft.
Every decision our design and sustainability teams made aimed to reduce to the project’s environmental impact. For example, to utilise existing Cat A finishes and minimise waste during the build required close collaboration between the design and construction teams. As a result, 100% of waste was diverted away from landfill.
Materials and furniture with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content were selected to improve indoor air quality and create a healthier workplace. Moreover, we optimised access to natural light by placing desks near windows, making the most of the panoramic views of Paris while meeting the LEED ‘Gold’ standard for daylight access.
As WTW was the first tenant in a building still under construction, we had several logistical and space planning challenges to overcome. Additionally, navigating the intricacies of working in a high-rise while aligning with French regulations for compliance demanded proactive construction management and close collaboration with the landlord and WTW.
