Guardian Glass Project: Le Cristallin

Located in a clear and green environment, Le Cristallin is a fully renovated, 10,900-square-metre office building in Boulogne-Billancourt, that offers its occupants a comfortable working environment with abundant natural light. The office and meeting spaces are designed in such a way as to give the company total freedom in the management of the space intended to accommodate employees.

The architect, AZC (Atelier Zündel Cristea), has achieved total flexibility throughout the building’s design – paradoxically, through the uniformity of the grid patterning of the facade panelling. It consists of 1.35m modules corresponding to the 1.35m modules of the suspended ceilings. The design highlights generosity of space, light, comfort, transparency and wellbeing.

Key to the building’s design is its use of Guardian SunGuard® High Durable (HD) Silver 70 coated solar control glass, selected for the building’s double skin façade. This highly durable coating provides a high light transmission of 70% combined with a solar factor of 72% with a stunning, diamond-like appearance that architects crave.

Le Cristallin received HQE® (Haute Qualité Environnementale) certification (recognition of a project’s high environmental quality) for both Renovation and Exploitation.
