Reception:

The main concourse, accessed via 14 Rue

Bergère, is a heritage space under a glass can-

opy within the building complex. The concourse

is listed on France’s supplementary inventory

of Historic Monuments. Its central area has

been converted into a hotel-style lounge, with

a “work café” set within the building’s former

reception area. Modern chandeliers suspend-

ed from the glass roof provide contrast and

highlight the space, which is enlivened by

tall trees planted in large indoor planters. On

either side of the concourse are library alcoves,

work pods and phone boxes. They are f inished

with wood panelling and acoustic textiles, and

include bench seating. The main reception desk

is located in the f irst alcove of the concourse.

In addition, a dynamic reception area has been

designed to greet visitors as soon as they enter

the vestibule. This ultra-f lexible space can

accommodate up to 390 people for dedicated

events, and up to 720 people when paired with

“La Grande Brasserie”.
