The project is part of a business park that has been developed on an ancient agricultural plateau with historical small rectangular woodlands. The existing woodland at the the edge of the site and the surrounding agricultural landscape have invited us to continue these ambiances within the project. Small Woodlands have been created at the parking area and at its edge to conceal the view of the cars and to accompany the arrival sequence for the users of the new office building. The gardens around these buildings have been designed like a patchwork of agricultural fields integrating outdoor meeting rooms, multi-purpose lawn areas, large beds of perennials & shrubs, fields of ornamental grasses and meadows.
