1. Earthworks, networks and foundations
January 2025. After months of studies, administrative procedures and back-and-forth between plans, modifications and authorisations, construction of our new offices is finally underway.
2. Assembly of the wooden frame
March 2025. Designed with a low-carbon approach in mind, the choice of a timber-frame building came naturally. As the walls and floors are pre-assembled in the workshop, this construction method allows for fast and controlled on-site installation.
For this key stage, we turned to local company Lambersens.
3. Zinc cladding
April 2025. To clad the façades of our future building, we have chosen zinc cladding, a material that is durable, attractive and perfectly in line with our contemporary architectural approach. A technical and aesthetic choice that serves the sustainability and identity of our agency.
4. Interiors
Inside the building, work is progressing at a good pace. Wood wool insulation has been installed, aluminium joinery fitted, partitions erected and technical networks (electricity, plumbing, ventilation) put in place. The screed has been laid and the wall coatings applied, gradually revealing the volumes of the future spaces. The oak flooring is currently being laid.
Next step: the first coats of paint.
A story in the making...
Each stage takes shape through volumes and materials, marking a clear step forward in bringing the project to life. We can’t wait to show you what’s next!
