Winner: Workplace project of the year 2024. Atelier du Pont has designed the new Pavillon Jardins in Paris, France.

This project is the new base camp dedicated to all teams working for the public institution of Grande Halle de la Villette.

It is developed according to a generic structure, where the uses and makings of events shape the place's identity, seamlessly blending architecture with nature, where space is shared.

The design offers two interlocking structures: one in concrete, providing its strength and the second in wood, for its lightness and low environmental impact.

In addition, the bioclimatic atrium within the Pavillion Jardins' centre is bathed in an undergrowth atmosphere created by a play of natural light.

Judges comments: "This project exemplifies sophisticated design through its innovative use of modular elements, with the interplay between interior and exterior modules creating a vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by natural light and thoughtful acoustics. The project demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, including the impressive reuse of tons of waste from demolition. This refreshing approach to workplace design sets a new standard for functionality and sustainability in contemporary architecture."
