Located in the Bellini district of Puteaux, the Sense project replaces the emblematic Norma tower. The building is intended to be more modern. The architects have played with materials, light and shadow, and transparency. The façades have been given a unified treatment, with white polished concrete verticals and horizontals alternating between white lacquered glass and transparent glazing. Sense offers 19,000 m² of offices and services over 7 floors, plus a mezzanine floor that can accommodate up to 1,580 people. Inside, the building houses a vast RIE, a coffee shop, an auditorium and a corporate concierge service. Sense also boasts a surprising inner courtyard featuring a succession of cascading terraces of around 1,400 m² overlooking a central patio.

A word about architects

Founded in 1986, the Lobjoy-Bouvier-Boisseau architecture and urban planning studio now boasts over 32 years' experience. Since the summer of 2012, the studio has been based in Boulogne-Billancourt (92), in a former porcelain factory that has been completely renovated. It is run by Ludovic Lbjoy, Céline Bouvier, Jean-Lou Boisseau and Sébastien Krafft. The team of architects designs contemporary buildings in each of the agency's areas of expertise: offices and head offices, housing, public facilities, urban projects, factories, multimodal transport hubs and shopping centres, etc.

aaPGR - PRAT GIGOU RIDGWAY architects is particularly involved in the design of workplaces. Alain Prat, Joël Gigou and Philip Ridway joined forces in 1999 to carry out a wide range of projects in a variety of geographical and cultural contexts. Over the years, the group has been enriched by a team of young colleagues specialising in the various skills of the profession.
