Ministry of Foreign Affairs
This building dates to1904. In the center, a large room was initially used to store the machines of the Imprimerie Nationale. With a height of nine meters under the ridge, the building bears the signature of the Moisant-Laurent-Savey workshops, a company that had prestigious clients such as the Grand Palais, the Bon Marché and the Gare de Lyon. Lighting for the room comes mainly from the sawtooth roof.
The renovation of the building has made it possible to use it for tertiary activities. The former Imprimerie Nationale now houses the management, cooperation and support services of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that cater to French citizens living abroad.
Converting an old industrial building into a work space required taking into account the acoustics of the space. Using Obersound grooved-perforated panels helped to achieve the desired effect.
