Description
At the heart of the ZAC Montjoie in Saint-Denis (93), stands CURVE, a building remarkable for its curved volumes and its 24,000 m2 of offices, designed by the architects of Cabinet Chartier Dalix. The building has one of the largest wooden eco-structures in Europe. It blends in perfectly with its surroundings, without vis-à-vis thanks to its elusive facades and landscaped spaces spread over the floors.
A large-scale project with multiple constraints, where Saint-Gobain COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 glazing had its place: 6,100 m2 of glazing was delivered to dress the facade of the building. Obviously for architects, who wanted the perfect marriage between aesthetically very transparent glazing and high-performance solar protection.
