Transparent, perméable et connecté. l'esprit de luxia réside dans la lumière et la qualité, où chaque espace incarne le bien-être et la créativité. Un dynamisme qui s'inspire de l'ambiance de la ville environnante.

LE CONTEXTE

Localisation, Bâtiment, Identité

NIVEAU 00

Entée, Restaurant, Coin Café, Espace Coworking

Dès le départ, la lumière a été établie comme le principe directeur du projet. Les grandes fenêtres du bâtiment l'invitent à pénétrer à l'intérieur, et la zone de réception l'intensifie avec un mur en briques de verre.

Ces directives de conception se reflètent dans l'ensemble du hall, accompagnées d'une palette de matériaux aux tons naturels : textiles beige et verts, céramique dans des tons neutres, métal et bois. Dans le cadre de son approche durable, AXA Investment Managers prévoit d'utiliser du bois provenant de ses propres forêts.

Coin Vert, Épicerie, Auditorium

 

L'espace du sous-sol adopte une approche différente à la lumière : le coin vert associe des tons frais, des formes organiques et des textures douces. Tandis que l'auditorium forme une ambiance contrastante; une atmosphère sombre, scénographique et confortable.

ESCALIER, SANITAIRES, HALL DES ASCENSEURS

Ces espaces, habituellement peu éclairés, ont été soigneusement étudiés et conçus avec une attention particulière à l’éclairage. L’escalier spectaculaire, avec sa mise en scène sombre et sa forme cubique, est revêtu de métal pour une réflexion optimale de la lumière naturelle. Les toilettes sont dotées d’une bande lumineuse sinueuse, tandis que les halls d’ascenseur gagnent en volume grâce à leurs plafonds métalliques.

Parking Voitures

Le parking utilise également la lumière de manière créative, avec des panneaux métalliques au plafond qui, par leurs nuances chaudes et froides, ainsi que par leurs aspects brillants et mats, guident l'utilisateur ou le visiteur vers la bonne entrée. Ces panneaux se retrouvent également dans les halls d'ascenseur, contribuant ainsi à relier les parcours de chacun.
