Visible from both the Boulevard Circulaire and the quays of the Seine, Lefebvre Dalloz is nevertheless located in a quiet and pleasant area, overlooking the Diderot Park. Built in 1989, the building was originally called Le Balzac. During construction, it was named aKora before taking the name of its occupant, Lefebvre Dalloz.

This non-high-rise building was completely restructured to reconcile the mineral and plant worlds. Two meridian windows cut into the facades bring light and transparency and enhance the view of the park on the Seine side. The building has opening windows, loggias planted with trees on each floor and a planted rooftop with panoramic views.

A word about the architect

Bouchaud Architectes is also known for its restructuring of the CB21 tower, several emblematic Haussmann buildings and the conversion of offices into a luxury hotel on Rue Pierre Charron.

For the architectural firm, the main challenge of this project was to create a visual link between the square in the heart of the block and the Parc Diderot in order to identify the main entrance. The design of the façade responds to the kinetic phenomena linked to its view from the circular boulevard of La Défense. The fifth façade is treated as a garden, accessible to employees, and protected from the wind by high guard rails.
