Close to Montparnasse train station, this building was built by the ancestor of the EDF company, the "Compagnie de Distribution d'Electricité Parisienne" (CPDE). It has always been dedicated to the management of Parisian public lighting.
Designed in 1938 by the architect Urbain Cassan, it was originally supposed to be twice as large. Only half of the program was built! Combined with the pre-brutalist architecture of the exposed concrete structure, its accidental asymmetry gives its facades an elegance that is as austere as it is atypical.
The renovation of this office and logistics building in a circular economy includes the creation of an agricultural greenhouse on the roof. The construction cycle allowed the reuse of deposits from the renovation site in the extension project. Thus the exterior joinery making up the existing running strips was reused to form the new openings of the agricultural greenhouse.
More broadly, the renovation project involves an impact reduction approach by promoting reuse, the use of recycled, sustainable materials, and refined and transformable furnishing solutions.
If you had to do it again?
In the private market, the logic could lead to involving the company upstream to carry out more "test" removals and validate a reuse process.
The same goes for the technical controller, whose conventional involvement can sometimes lead to impasses during construction. Preliminary tests should be reinforced in the same way.

Urban environment
In the dense urban environment of the Montparnasse district in Paris, the renovation of the building has restored all its brilliance to the facade, decayed by time, which dialogues again with the other buildings of the 1930s. The agricultural greenhouse installed on the roof is integrated into the shades of gray of traditional zinc roofing with its galvanized steel structure.

The re-use operation saved the equivalent of 414909 kilometers driven by a small car, or 471 trips from Paris to Nice, 2421 rectangular bathtubs filled with water and 113 years of household waste of a French person.
Reproductibility and Innovation
- materials that do not require any special treatment before refitting (false ceiling tiles, parquet floors, etc.) were stored on site ;
- the materials subject to special treatment before refitting (steel windows of the agricultural greenhouse) were treated in the workshops of specialized companies ;
- materials that cannot be re-used in-situ have been stored by the company responsible for cleaning, which is also responsible for their re-marketing.
- Wooden sash windows - 38 units - to reuse construction specialist
- Sanitary equipment - 900kg - to Tricycle Environnement reuse platform
- Gravelled slabs - 18.2t - to Tricycle Environnement recycling platform
Social economy
- TRICYCLE ENVIRONMENT: 11 employees in professional integration
- METISSE LE RELAIS: all company profits are reinvested in the creation of sustainable jobs.
Reasons for participating in the competition(s)
The circular economy renovation approach, jointly supported by the Project Owner and the Project Management on the project, experimentally prefigures the future of rehabilitation. It is part of an optimization of resources specific to the site and the building in terms of functionality, equipment and architecture. It organizes the project according to opportunities related to existing spaces, to demolitions. It favors the use of biosourced, recycled or reused materials. It optimizes the processing and recycling of construction site waste.
