MANIFESTO
When I entered the building, I was instantly struck by its energy, vitality and clarity. That’s the essence of Lightwell.
A totally reworked space, rebuilt, not destroyed, keeping the environment top of mind.
It’s a new space that encourages teams to get together. I enjoy using all the outdoor and communal areas – I find them inspiring; it’s where people connect, interact, and move ahead on joint projects.
The restaurants whisk me off to another world. The materials, colors and lighting make me feel at home.
The space reflects who I am, and it brings people together.
An inspiring and conscious space in the heart of the Greater Paris region. A building that’s ahead of the curve as regards changes in the workplace and our lifestyles.
Lightwell, Where ideas come to life
Lightwell is an energising space with a strong identity where people enjoy working, interacting and engaging in activities together.
Designed on a human scale, the building provides a hub for both working and socialising, helping instigate encounters, provide impetus and spark new ideas.
Lightwell balances people’s needs with those of the environment.
THE ARCHITECTS’ VISION
Philippe Barthélémy and Sylvia Griño
In a cityscape dominated by high-rise towers, Lightwell draws its inspiration from traditional Parisian architecture and is centred around an inner courtyard where people can meet and engage.
The existing building has been totally transformed to optimize and tailor the space to modern-day needs.
Lightwell is actively driving forward the green transition and is fully committed to reducing energy consumption in compliance with the the French Tertiary Decree.
