CALQ is designing and building Fahrenheit, a new tertiary buildingin the heart of the eco-neighborhood ZAC des Docks de Saint-Ouen, next to a school and social housing.

The project is part of this eco-neighborhood, which is intended to be exemplary in several ways: in terms of urban quality and functional and social diversity, in the construction of energy-efficient buildings, in the deployment of district heating that uses 75% renewable energy, in the sharing of public parking lots, and in alternative rainwater management.

Fahrenheit places the environmental approach and the well-being of future users at the center of the design thanks to office floors lit by natural light and a clear height of 2.70 m. The floors are served by naturally illuminated vertical corridors. The project has been designed to allow flexibility in the rental offer: 6 floors of office space, accommodating one or two tenants per floor.

Fahrenheit serves as a strong signal at the corner of rue Ardoin and rue de la Clef des Champs. The base of the street facades is made of prefabricated concrete panels, the attic facades are made of zinc, all other facades are clad in white metal. Modenatures and sun breezes punctuate the façades.

The terraces and roofs are vegetated. A 300 sqm. garden in the heart of the island will allow rainwater to infiltrate into the natural soil, and will host 15 trees, perennials and flowering meadow seedlings of native species for biodiversity. On the ground floor, a natural draining knot will join the knot of the BIA.

Insect and passerine shelters will also be installed to allow for the installation of a biodiversity favourable to the well-being of users and the neighbourhood.
