The architects from Hardel Le Bihan and HGA-Hubert Godet have developed an architectural ensemble for the Orange group headquarters that respects the heritage of Lyon’s Part-Dieu district. The new north and south wings embrace the existing Lacassagne telephone exchange, an iconic building designed in 1972 by André Gutton and protected as a “Bâtiment de France” for its historical significance. The folded volumes are connected to the central building through walkways and a spacious glass atrium. The ensemble is unified by the pattern of the façades, which echoes the exoskeleton of the former industrial building, while the sloping roof reveals and frames views to and from the urban surroundings. In the interior spaces, designed with user participation, comfort is enhanced by Parklex Prodema natural timber flooring and panelling, highly resistant to wear and abrasion.

Hardel Le Bihan 与 HGA-Hubert Godet 的建筑师为 Orange 集团总部打造了一个尊重里昂 Part-Dieu 街区历史文脉的建筑群。新的南北两翼环抱着既有的 Lacassagne 电话交换局——这座由 André Gutton 于 1972 年设计的标志建筑,因其历史意义被列为「法国历史建筑」加以保护。折叠的体量通过连廊与宽敞的玻璃中庭与中央建筑相连。整个建筑群由立面的肌理所统一,呼应着旧工业建筑的外骨骼结构;倾斜的屋顶则框起望向与来自城市四周的视野。在由使用者共同参与设计的室内空间中,Parklex Prodema 的天然木地板与墙板提升了舒适度,且高度耐磨抗刮。
