The construction site offers the opportunity to vacate the premises for a makeover, enhancing the quality and capacity of existing facilities.

Panoramic elevators have been installed, serving fluid, luminous platforms fitted to the highest standards for new ways of working. Meeting rooms, informal collaboration areas, isolation and relaxation areas complete the flex-office platforms.
