The project, located at 62 rue de Lisbonne and 13/15 rue Murillo in Paris’ 8th arrondissement, is an office block surrounded by stone buildings showcasing the varied architectural styles characterising the late 19th century and early 20th century. The new facade blends in seamlessly by combining stone and metal like a score of musical notes. The partition draws rhythm from the suspended glass boxes, which add a percussive effect to the facade. The buildings opposite are reflected in the glass boxes, creating a myriad of architectural portraits pleasantly adorning the district's office...

Without a doubt, steel and aluminium offer a number of benefits in response to the environmental concerns raised at each stage in a building's lifetime. Steel can be fully recycled without affecting its qualities or incurring landfill costs. Recycling aluminium only uses 5% of the energy required to produce the metal in the first place. These two materials can be recycled over and over again. Steel's natural mechanical properties (including a high resistance-to-weight ratio) are ideally suited to creating lightweight load-bearing structures that increase the habitable surface area....

Using semi-finished products means that some of the work is performed in the factory, rather than on site. Construction sites are quieter and cleaner as a result, without any dust or waste, a major asset especially in urban environments. Steel and aluminium can easily be recovered since the industry is perfectly organised, this help improve the bottom line of the demolition process as a whole.
