Project Description
In 2016, the Mayor of Tourcoing and Nord-France Invest supported Booking.com’s desire - already established in Tourcoing - to move to new premises in the region. Booking.com wanted to find a place accessible by public transport, around 7,000 m², equipped with completely open office floors - without any partitioning or posts - offering compact working spaces, large relaxation and meeting spaces. The building had to be BREEAM-certified, secure, accessible and functional. So, client SemVR’s challenge was to provide an efficient and flexible location corresponding to new ways of working within a short period of time.
It joined forces with Foncière de l’Erable, an investor, and Eiffage Construction to confirm that the project was feasible in terms of budget and time frames. A location was found in the city. Architecture firm Coldefy, which was consulted, accepted the challenge. Today, the building meets all expectations perfectly. The short lead time, the large number of stakeholders, and the creation of a contemporary building in the architectural conservation area near the station, all required the team to demonstrate responsiveness, persuasion and great cohesion to complete the project. Coldefy helped the client to achieve its objectives.
