Yes. Adaptability and long-term reuse were central considerations throughout the rehabilitation process. The project was conceived as a resilient and evolutive framework capable of accommodating changing urban lifestyles and future programs over time.

Its hybrid program — combining sport, wellbeing, hospitality, culture and flexible workspaces — already reflects the growing convergence of uses shaping contemporary cities. The introduction of open courtyards, visual breathing spaces and vegetation contributes not only to environmental quality and user wellbeing, but also to the long-term relevance of the building within its dense urban context.

The office floors were designed as linear and highly modular layouts, carefully integrated within the constraints and logic of the existing structure. By preserving the original concrete and steel frame while maximizing flexibility, the spaces can easily accommodate different workplace configurations or alternative functions in the future.

Similarly, the levels currently dedicated to sport and wellness were conceived as adaptable open platforms rather than highly specialized environments. Their generous spans, structural clarity and technical flexibility allow for potential future conversion into other collective, cultural, educational or tertiary uses if required.

Rather than designing a fixed object, Studio Vincent Eschalier approached the project as a sustainable architectural framework able to evolve with future societal and environmental needs.

Yes. Circularity was integrated into both the architectural and interior design approach.

The project already incorporates reused and recycled elements, including restored vintage lighting by Blom & Blom and custom furniture pieces by MVE-Collection made from recycled aluminium and recycled concrete.

More broadly, the material palette was intentionally kept minimal, durable and timeless — combining raw concrete, stainless steel, glass, cork and wood — to ensure longevity and facilitate future reuse, disassembly or adaptation. Several interior elements were conceived as reversible layers within the existing structure, allowing the building to evolve over time without altering its architectural framework.
