Nation Office Building Intervention / TANK Architectes

Situated at Place de la Nation in Paris, this project reinterprets the urban fabric through the reconstruction of a distinctive office building. The intervention respects the architectural scale of its surroundings while contributing a refined contemporary presence. The program includes 1,700 m² of retail space at ground level and approximately 6,000 m² of office space, designed to prioritize comfort, natural light, and spatial quality. The project responds to its setting with a restrained yet expressive architectural language. Two façades address Place de la Nation and Avenue de Taillebourg, referencing the rhythm and proportions of Haussmann architecture while introducing a contemporary material palette and refined detailing. This approach ensures an understated integration within the historic streetscape while establishing a strong identity.
