Intencity Schneider Electric, Grenoble

Watch the video

Dedicated to welcome the direction of innovation of
Schneider Electric France, the building is located on the
Presqu’île Scientifique, the new scientific cluster which
brings together major public and private actors (CEA,
CNRS, Grenoble INP…) in a dynamic ecosystem anchored
in the territory and recognized worldwide. Interface
between city and nature, with an exceptional situation
between the river Drac and Isère, the building stands
out as a major element in the urban whole. Dressing its
rigorous volume, his precious skin consists of an anodized
aluminum cladding bronze aspect, asserting the prestige
and excellence of the premises it houses. Its four volumes
placed at right angles along the avenue des Martyrs come
alive on the ground floor, while its unit facades reflect the
equal treatment offices, erase the variety of interior spaces
for the benefit of the strength of all. Its “endless staircase”
becomes a real living space. It includes cafeterias, meeting
rooms and informal collaboration areas that open onto the
extraordinary landscape: the garden, the river, the mountain
as a background. Riverside, the garden, contained and
protected by the frame, is dedicated to the corporate life.
