The Metamorphosis of Groupe Avril’s Headquarters
The whole becomes the beating, luminous heart of a warm and friendly building.


Avril, a major food industry player, owns a 5,000 m² building in the heart of Paris golden triangle. A hard-fought permit was obtained to add 1,000 m².


The inner courtyard is covered by a glass roof and planted with trees, its tiered floor connecting to the basement amphitheatre and central cafeteria.


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.
