Pôle d'échange multimodal, bureaux en structure bois

Located in the EuroNantes business district, the Multimodal Exchange and Office Center is adjacent to the Nantes train station. In phase with the changes in the city of tomorrow, new mobility and work methods, it is supported by a dual public and private project management team wishing to make it an urban landmark anchored in its time. 
The design of this 9-story complex was guided by user comfort, the legibility of spaces and accesses, and a strong environmental ambition. A suspended garden links the PEM to the offices and offers a haven of coolness and relaxation to users. From the South Station square, the monumental 12-meter high façade of the hall, bathed in light, highlights the bicycle park, one of the largest in Europe. The organization of the offices responds to a double strategy: maximum openness to the landscape and optimization of compactness. With a wooden structure and solid wood CLT flooring, without false ceilings, the offices feature exposed wood creating a unique and warm atmosphere for users. The entire structure is covered with terracotta tiles, a material that provides thermal comfort and develops a patina over time.
