Productive Density and Living Landscape: Rethinking the Urban Business Park

Stacking productive uses to make room for landscape and create an inviting place to work

Located between the urban intensity of Aérolians and the landscape of the Sausset Valley in Tremblay-en-France, Fly Parc brings together light industry, storage, offices, showrooms and services open to the public.

The project stacks production, storage and office space over two levels, with access, servicing and logistics organised vertically. This compact arrangement reduces the building footprint and releases more than the quarter of the site for planting and permeable surfaces.

A productive urban fabric organised around a courtyard

Three building volumes enclose the central courtyard that concentrates logistics and vehicle movements. Operational impacts are contained at the heart of the scheme, while the outer façades address the surrounding neighbourhood and the landscape of the Sausset Valley.

Nineteen flexible units accommodate storage and light industry spaces. Workshops, mezzanine offices, showrooms and ancillary workspaces are combined within a regular structural grid.

Publicly accessible catering and shared workspaces occupy the most urban-facing parts of the project, extending activity towards the public realm.

A hybrid, efficient and adaptable structure

The building combines concrete, timber and polycarbonate, each material being used according to its structural and architectural qualities.

Concrete supports the operational loads and provides a regular, flexible structural grid. Timber reduces the weight of the upper storeys while contributing to the building’s architectural identity and the quality of its interior spaces. Translucent polycarbonate cladding admits and diffuses daylight deep into the workspaces.

Prefabrication reinforces this rational approach to construction, simplifying assembly and enabling greater control on site. The architecture emerges from this economy of means. Clear volumes, a legible structural system and a luminous envelope give this predominantly productive programme a strong and dignified urban presence.

Making Room for a Living Landscape

More than a quarter of the site is given over to planted, permeable open space. Native hedges, trees and a planted swale draw the landscape of the Sausset Valley into the heart of the development.

The swale contributes to surface water management and runs alongside pedestrian routes. The roofs combine planted areas with photovoltaic panels, providing a total installed capacity of 500 kWp.

Renewable energy generation, green roofs and the extensive soft landscaping help to mitigate the urban heat island effect. 

Fly Parc is certified BREEAM Very Good and BiodiverCity and achieves an E2C1 rating under France’s E+C− framework.

Turning a productive programme into a welcoming place to work

Fly Parc turns a productive programme into an environment that supports workplace quality and everyday wellbeing.

Natural daylight, views of the landscape, planted spaces, places to rest and sheltered circulation routes contribute directly to user comfort. The compact footprint makes room for more planting and keeps logistics movements away from the façades overlooking the landscape.

This arrangement also benefits the emerging neighbourhood. Public use services, façades facing landscaped areas and continuity with the Sausset Valley establish a more open relationship between the business park and its surroundings.

The project combines economic performance with a high-quality working environment and a positive contribution to the wider urban setting.

 

Fly Parc combines productive density, workplace quality, environmental performance and landscape continuity.

Fly Parc offers a compact, open alternative to the conventional urban business park, designed around everyday use.
