Energy-intensive building

The former Airbus laboratories, along the Seine in Suresnes (92) were acquired by Vilogia in 2019. The transformation of the "SU1" building, which until then housed office space and R&D laboratories, makes it possible to offer 271 student accommodation, two shops and tertiary activity areas. The project, carried out with teams from Tecnova, DGM and Bouygues, was designed with an approach of reusing a maximum of materials, and Zero Net Artificialisation.


Building users opinion

The very first inhabitants take possession of their rooms in April 2023, and are very satisfied with the residential quality, in particular the quality of use.

If you had to do it again?

We would take care to anticipate even better the diversity of uses and their technical consequences on the design of the project, already well worked on this operation.

BIM approach

A BIM approach came to feed the operating modes of the structural work and the demolition, carried out by the general contractor.

The BIM approach was not used during the selective cleaning period and was not used for the reuse of materials.

Biodiversity approach

    The tall chestnut trees, several decades old, on the edge of the plot, have been preserved, and their space has been reworked to create a new low plant stratum (flowering meadow with honey and requiring little maintenance). The inner courtyard is vegetated over 314 m² with ornamental shrubs, again requiring little maintenance.

    The non-accessible roof of the first level, above the shops on the street, is fitted out in favor of biodiversity. Different eco-systems are recreated thanks to different plant strata and the installation of wildlife refuges.

    The distribution of admissible loads on this roof makes it possible to vary the heights of the substrate and to obtain 4 types of vegetation. This graphic layout frame is visible from the accommodation above, ensuring the aesthetic quality of the space. Heaps of millstones of varying sizes, heaps of logs, birdhouses and heaps of sand are spread over the roof to promote urban biodiversity.

    The land sobriety approach was integrated from the design of the project: the transformation into residential required doubling the thickness of the east wing of the building. In return, a shortening of this same portion guaranteed a Net Zero Artificialisation balance sheet, the deconstructed surface being returned to the open ground. In addition, an operator specializing in urban biodiversity has designed and deployed tailor-made systems for part of the roofs.

Risks

    • Flooding/Slow flood
    • Flooding/Fast Recession

    The residence is fully lined (the initial casing has been preserved, and doubled with an intelligent system for capturing dripping water on the periphery of the walls, with a lifting pump connected to the rainwater network), and the technical rooms are fitted out to that sensitive installations are protected against flooding.

Urban environment

    If the residence fits into the very qualitative urban fabric of this residential district of Suresnes, its transformation contributes directly to the improvement of local services:

    • The 271 student accommodations will support the existing local commercial activity,
    • Two commercial shells totaling 1,600 m² increase the local offer,
    • A space of 39 m² acquired by the RATP on the ground floor makes it possible to create an EVB (Espace Vie Bus), a regulatory rest room essential for the extension of two bus lines serving the district.
    • On two underground levels, a 6,400 m² "last mile logistics" cell offers businesses and individuals rental space to store their goods.
    • On the top level of the basement, 61 parking spaces are assigned to the operator Yespark, which offers them, via an application, for short-term rental, promoting interconnection between the private vehicle and the public transport offer ( in particular the nearby Suresnes-Mont-Valérien station) to travel in the inner suburbs and in Paris.

Construction and exploitation costs

  • 1 655 000
  • 45 000 000
  • The cost of the works amounts to 24 million euros excluding taxes.

Circular economy strategy

    Consultation of the companies

    • Maximization of the number of impacted batches
    • Maximization of quantities on targeted products
    • Maximization of the mass of waste avoided

    Preparation of the cleaning phase with a design office specializing in advice on selective cleaning: ELAN Preliminary selections of the 20 most recoverable flows. Framing of markets and choice of companies and service limits on cleaning.

    Objective of 85% material recovery (reuse and recycling) of all waste from the cleaning and demolition phase. Objective not quantified for the share of reuse but objective of maximizing reuse during cleaning.

    Integration of the approach in the general clauses

    Yes

    Validation protocol produced for in-situ reuse --> production of reuse specifications for facade stones only – See Annex 0: Notice for the reuse of cladding.
    The validator of reuse in situ --> The technical controller of the operation for the technique (validation period of 18 months) and for the aesthetics the validation submitted (like the rest of the facades) to the project management and to project management.

    For ex-situ reuse, no specific validation protocol except on packaging (for false floor and false ceiling slabs). The materials validator for ex-situ reuse is the third party who will reuse the materials.

    Reuse of in-situ materials - facade stone:

    • Careful removal of the facade stones then storage at R-3 of the operation (see methodology).
    • Selection, palletization and control of the stones by the installation company and by BY.
    • Return to factory (located in IDF) for shaping.
    • Delivery on site (at the foot of the scaffolding) for refitting on site.


    Ex-situ material reuse:

    • Careful removal by a specialized company or by the BOUYGUES BATIMENT IDF teams.
    • Storage in premises associated with the operation's living quarters (not requiring PPE to be worn for access).
    • Appointment with the buyers. Signing of a certificate of recovery in the state of support for the discounts to standards if necessary by the buyer.
    • Recovery of materials/equipment by the buyer in the storage room.


    Note: For the false floor and false ceiling slabs, the carriers were loaded by the company in charge of cleaning (ADC DEMOLITION).

Logistics

    Yes

    • On site, on a dedicated area in a covered location
    • On an external platform, in combination with reconditioning operations

Insurance

    No

    Yes

    Verspieren

    No

    SMA

    No

    Specific TRC (Construction All Risk) insurance to cover the storage of stones on site to be reused. Cover the storage of stones during construction and before refitting.

    There was no additional premium identified by the client.

Environmental assessment

    • Compared to a demolition-reconstruction for an equivalent final building, a total of 1,700 (one thousand seven hundred) tonnes of carbon were saved.
    • In terms of waste, 6,273 tons of waste were recovered, reused or recycled.
    • The water saving impacts have not been calculated.

     

     

Economic assessment

  • 190 000
  • No

    No materials purchasing process. The only materials reused on site come from the site (particularly facade stone).

  • 26 000
    • Income on resales: -20 k€
    • Cost of removal of facade stones and storage at R-3 (demolition company): +€70 k
    • Additional cost of selecting and installing facade stone from reuse (compared to new stone): +€35k
    • Supervision of works for the follow-up of buyers ex-situ, for the control of stones: +32 k€
    • AMO fees (ELAN company): +€26k
    • Overheads (General Contractor) for the administrative framework of procedures and third parties (orders, contracts, insurance, financial management/monitoring, specific support for CSR managers, communication, etc.): + €30k
    • Production of furniture from reused materials by the Emmaüs integration workshops: €40,000.

    Total --> + €213k

    The reuse on the SURESNES operation has an additional cost, which is part of the more global financial commitment of a site transformation, always more expensive than a demolition-reconstruction. This is a bias of the project owner, committed to a structuring CSR approach.

Communication

    Yes

    • Active press relations during the site launch event (November 2021) and the official formal inauguration in May 2023.
    • Promotion of the project in application for various prizes, and on the architects' village of the USH Congress 2023.

    Yes

Social economy

    The project was marked by a very important component of social and solidarity economy : the objective set of 10,000 hours of work to be dedicated to the integration of unemployed people was largely exceeded, since a total of 14,430 hours were actually been carried out. This hourly volume did not respond to any regulatory obligation or linked to financing, but rather to the wishes of the contracting authority.

    In addition, a special mission has been entrusted to the Compagnons d'Emmaus : through integration workshops devolved to the public of the association, the companions and their "apprentices" have produced all the furniture in the 4 study rooms (one per floor) by renovating salvaged furniture. Estimate: 8 work tables and 32 chairs.

    In addition, the 'Agora' common room was furnished to measure by the Compagnons d'Emmaus, again within the framework of integration workshops, by creating very specific furniture with recycled materials. This mission, the material volume of which is difficult to estimate, represented a cost of 40,000 euros.

Circular design

    • Rehabilitation of the former Airbus headquarters into a student residence.
    • Change of use: Transformation of an office building into housing.
    • Adaptation of the project to the geometry and structure of the site. Integration of the structure inside the student rooms (concrete posts). Creation of common lounges and projection rooms in surfaces that cannot be adapted to housing.

    • Rehabilitation of the former R-3 car park to provide 23 parking spaces for the student residence and 65 spaces for rent to third parties neighboring the operation.
    • Creation of an EVB (Bus Life Space) room on the ground floor to allow RATP staff to have a break in direct proximity to their bus line (bus line passing in the immediate vicinity).
    • Realization of a student residence in front of a business school (SKEMA BUSINESS SCHOOL) with the conservation of an adjoining footbridge between the residence and the school during the works for the future exploitation of the residence (Possibility for female students to integrate the premises of the school directly from the residence and without going through the street).

    • Reuse of the old basements of the buildings in storage rooms of the last KM on all the surfaces of R-1/R-2 with access from the ground floor (6400 m2) --> Allowing neighbors to have a room in addition to rent in a very urbanized environment.
    • Realization of commercial volumes (1900 m2) on the ground floor of the project to allow development by the neighboring business school (SKEMA BUISNESS SCHOOL) --> Creation of a local student association, a sports hall, others.
    • Temporary site installation made with 93.5% reused furniture and materials coming either directly from the site (cabinets, desk, wooden claustra, courtyard) or from two former sites (various furniture, sofa, etc.). It should be noted that all of the furniture used in the living quarters of the SURESNES site was then reused again for two other operations currently in progress (In the municipalities of Pontoise and Bessancourt - 95).
    • Donations of materials and equipment to associations in the town of SURESNES (see table of reused materials above). Communicated via the city's facebook page, in partnership with the municipal services of the town hall. Recovery of materials in a dedicated room by the associations and schools of SURESNES.

    See furniture made by Emmaus.

    • The selective sorting approach was also maximized throughout the life of the site (in addition to the achievement of 93.5% of materials reused or recycled in demolition / cleaning).
    • The 7-stream sorting lasted throughout the construction phase.

Comfort

    The architectural project enhances large bay windows in each dwelling, to promote natural light.

    The project was indeed a restructuring project, with structural constraints. These constraints were integrated into the quality of use approach for the building, from the start of the project. The needs were expressed very clearly by the manager, and all the intermediaries (project management, general contractor, architect, subcontractors) were keen to co-integrate housing solutions in perfect harmony with the envelope and existing volumes. The excellent progress of the site and the agility of the general contractor gave all the players the time and the autonomy to deploy all the necessary creativity around these comforts of use.

    For the comfort of residents, a tools library will be deployed at the start of the 2023 school year: it will allow students to rent, for a few euros, household appliances (vacuum cleaner, pastry robot, steam generator, sewing machine) or small DIY (drill, tool box). This approach aims to promote responsible consumption.

    In addition, local shops and a gym at the foot of the residence and in the immediate surroundings, as well as easy access to public transport and a large supply of bicycle parks will contribute to the amenities of use.

Quality of life and services

Vilogia has also ensured that each floor includes services designed for students: shared study room, laundry, luggage room and video projection area. The exteriors and an agora have been set up to allow residents to meet outside their homes. They also benefit from bicycle parking and a tool library to encourage responsible consumption: vacuum cleaner, pastry robot, drill or iron are available for hire for a few euros.

The management of the residence has been devolved to Arpej, who is signing his third collaboration with Vilogia in Ile-de-France. "We have anticipated this commissioning a lot: the volume of housing is exceptional, as is the residential diversity offered by the cluster housing and the variety of surface areas and morphologies of the housing" specifies Anne Gobin, Managing Director of Arpej. “Similarly, the richness and plurality of shared equipment (work rooms, projection rooms, Agora, laundries, luggage storage, tools library, etc.) gives it a particular appeal. Inclusive for many mobility losses, this residence opens the door to many ways of living; in this it is surprisingly protean. Moreover, students who have already moved in are not mistaken, and their initial feedback is extremely positive as to the quality of use. »

Qualitative work on the volumes on the ground floor, in consultation with the project manager, has given the district two commercial areas of more than 1,000 m², supplemented by a sports hall and student living spaces. In addition, the RATP is taking 39 m² of premises which will become a "Space Life Bus": these regulatory rest rooms for employees are essential for the opening of new lines, and therefore contribute directly to the quality of the transport service. in common. Suresnes-Mont-Valérien train station is a 15-minute walk away, and the T2 is 500 meters away.

Sixty-one parking spaces of G-3, not dedicated to the student residence, are also enhanced thanks to a partnership with the company Yespark, opening the site to the neighborhood and making it accessible to local residents.

General infos

In total, the transformation has a largely positive carbon balance compared to a demolition and reconstruction of at least 1,700 tonnes of CO2.

Initiatives promoting low-carbon mobility

  • Specific carbon-free travel day for the site management team and the project management of the operation (August 2022 - A day of travel to the SURESNES site by bike).
  • Site close to many transport facilities favoring travel by public transport (Project management, Project management, Project management assistant and 20% of the supervising team).
  • Integration of the RATP EVB (Espace de Vie Bus) to sustain a bus line, and eventually to deploy new ones.

GHG emissions

  • 8,00 KgCO2/m2/an
  • 60,00 année(s)

Life Cycle Analysis

    Note: IC ENERGY / IC CONSTRUCTION calculation: calculation based on a Static LCA (E+C- BBCA).

Reasons for participating in the competition(s)

The transformation of the former Airbus R&D laboratories took place with a final rate of 93.5% of reused or recycled materials: it made it possible to create a student residence with 271 approved rooms (10,000 m² of living space), and 8,300 m² of tertiary activities such as local shops, two levels of 'last mile logistics' for local SMEs and individuals, an RATP space necessary for the sustainability of two bus lines, 61 short-term parking spaces 'Yespark ' and of course the mobility equipment (bike room, parking) dedicated to the student residence.

The process of maximizing reuse in situ or ex-situ, with a systematic search for a recycling solution when reuse was impossible, was coupled with a process of land sobriety integrated from the design of the project: the transformation into residential required doubling the thickness of the east wing of the building. In return, a shortening of this same portion guaranteed a Net Zero Artificialisation balance sheet, the deconstructed surface being returned to a vegetated terrace. In addition, an operator specializing in urban biodiversity has designed and deployed tailor-made systems for green roofs.
