5,500 m² four-story building with underground parking, ground-floor laboratories, and offices on the upper floors in Grenoble: designed and built by GSE

A building designed to combine functionality and modernity

The building, designed by SCI Grenoble Innovation for Xenocs, stands out for its functionality and modern design. With a total floor area of 5,500 m² spread over four levels (ground floor plus three stories), it combines diverse spaces to meet the needs of tenant companies. The laboratories on the ground floor integrate seamlessly with the offices on the upper floors, offering a fluid and optimal layout. The contemporary architecture highlights carefully selected materials, bright spaces, and four accessible terraces. Designed to be flexible, this multi-tenant building easily adapts to the requirements of its various occupants, while offering comfortable and pleasant workspaces.

A Response to the Environmental and Urban Challenges of the Presqu’île

The project’s location on the Presqu’île de Grenoble presents several environmental and urban challenges. Situated on a constrained and narrow site, the building strictly complies with regulations related to technological and natural risks (PPRT and PPRI). At the same time, addressing the site’s environmental constraints has led to cutting-edge technical solutions. The installation of a water-to-air heat pump that draws on the groundwater table exemplifies this commitment to ecological innovation, enabling a significant reduction in the carbon footprint while ensuring high energy efficiency. This project is therefore fully aligned with an exemplary approach to sustainable development.
