Winner!
The agency recently won the competition for the renovation of a building situated at 2-4 rue de la Banque in Paris for the Pacific Investment Management Company (Pimco). The building, which occupies an entire city block, was originally the headquarters of Banque Dreyfus. It was designed in 1906 by architect Henri-Paul Nénot, best known for his work on the League of Nations building in Geneva. During the Occupation, the building was seized by the German army and, from 1941 to 1944, became the headquarters of the Jewish Affairs Commissary. Several areas still feature specific decorations and fittings, which will be restored as part of the renovation. The project is being developed with Equilibre Structures, Alto Ingénierie, Avls, Le BE, Calq, Agence ON, Vpeas and Batiss.
