Nestling in the heart of the east Paris region’s biggest business district and the Grand Paris Express transport interchange, Xylo is a byword for accessibility and user-friendliness. This 1990s edifice has been remodelled to human dimensions, offering living spaces logically redesigned to encourage conviviality, and flexible, divisible, generously sunlit office spaces to maximise user well-being.
Subtle hints of nature are provided by the larchwood cladding, whose warm colour is offset by the mineral tones of the concrete, thereby enhancing the welcoming feel of the place and weaving graphic rhythm through the living spaces; in addition, a wall of ferns offers a window of greenery to stimulate the imagination of users and visitors alike.
