Offices into housing

Montrouge (92) Study at Arte Charpentier

Turning a 1990s office building into housing and a health centre: a feasibility study.

Restoring existing buildings and rethinking their use is a very current challenge, as office assets change after the health crisis. It calls for inventiveness and a clear understanding of the strengths and constraints of what is already built.

Office buildings from the 1990s and 2000s are often deep, and built with prestressed hollow-core slabs.

Helping clients understand floor areas before and after the project, the regulatory differences between uses (offices, public buildings, housing) and the cost of transformation given the existing constraints is essential to give rise to a solid, realistic project that can be carried through.
