Project Description
Combining wildlife and wellness at work, the headquarters of the Métropole Européenne de Lille has been transformed into a unique circular environment. The building supports people, animals, and local nature alike.
The serpentine floor plan differs from the traditional corridor-style office building. Every floor has access to outdoor space and employees seated on any balcony are surrounded by the transparent interior façade, creating an open view of the municipality at work.
