The real estate complex is part of the master plan for the Illkirch innovation park, which today includes more than 15 buildings built by GA Smart Building.

The architectural project is designed as a landscaped ensemble which revolves around two buildings linked by a central lobby. The layout of buildings A and B gives views of the outside, and lets cross the perspectives on the walks around which are arranged spaces of tranquility, a wild meadow and places of exchange and conviviality.

The architecture is made up of sculpted volumes, whose rhythm associated with waltzing movements, creates a permanent dynamism.

The facades vibrate and create plays of shadows, discreetly ornamented with random punchings referring to computer punch cards. This personalized architectural composition makes it possible here to identify the DNA of the technology and IT sector of the user, but also of the companies of the Illkirch innovation park, while allowing the air intakes and discharges of the treatment modules of air integrated in facades. The large bays open towards the surrounding spaces.

The office floors benefit from large full-height windows that offer generous views towards the outdoor green spaces. The reception forum is located at the intersection of the 2 buildings, allowing the articulation between the two sets. Users and visitors pass through this place of life.

The reception pavilion with glass and brushed stainless steel facades creates transparency between the car parks and the heart of the green site, while articulating on the ground floor and first floor the flows and uses of the two office buildings.

This “Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Forum” is set up between the two buildings: it welcomes the public from the two entrance forecourts. It is a hybrid space of conviviality and reception where the history of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is also presented. On the first level of this reception building, a walkway provides an open-air connection between the two buildings around a large outdoor terrace.

The site also consists of a single-storey restaurant at the heart of the island, marking the entrance to the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise campus. The glazed facades and brushed stainless steel cladding integrate with the architecture of the Campus and the landscaped environment with harmony, reflections and transparency.
