Ya office building in Boulogne-Billancourt by Studioninedots
The Ya site in Boulogne-Billancourt, marketed by Kaufman & Broad, has been awarded to the Dutch practice Studioninedots following a competition that also included Hardel-Le Bihan and Du Besset-Lyon with Lin.
Working with local architects Atelier 115 Architectes, Studioninedots is due to deliver the 9,300 m² of offices in 2015. The Groupe Verdi Ingénierie Nord is responsible for the technical side.
The individual floors are clearly legible thanks to slabs that extend beyond the façade. In front of these glazed screens, punctuated by bronze-coloured aluminium frames, solar-shading louvres break up the horizontality of the building, which the floor plates establish so as to give it its full presence. The louvres will be manually adjustable.
The entrance is marked by a two-storey recess set perpendicular to the view of the parc Billancourt. The lobby continues along the bisector of the plot's corner, drawing the eye towards the garden.
The various setbacks act as a transition to the lower neighbouring buildings.
