Description
Kalifornia is a modern office building located in the south of Paris, designed with a focus on well-being and sustainability. The project features terraces on every floor, providing outdoor spaces where users can relax and enjoy moments of fresh air.
The building is flooded with natural light, creating a comfortable and pleasant work environment for all its occupants. Its terracotta façade blends seamlessly with the surrounding townhouses and the local architectural landscape.
The use of Saint-Gobain Glass products for the façade guarantees optimum energy performance, modern design and generously lit spaces for enhanced occupant comfort.
Bouygues Immobilier pioneered the use of ORAÉ® low-carbon glass, combined with COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 high-performance solar cladding, including the curved version, to reduce both the building’s embodied and operational carbon footprints.
A first for a building of this type, it has since paved the way for many other carbon reduction projects.
