The project, located in the heart of Part Dieu in Lyon, is the rehabilitation of a former RTE site into a mixed uses building. The rehabilitated surface area is 9,530 m².

The intention to limit the environmental impact of the project, in coherence with the policy of the City of Lyon turned towards ecology and the reduction of the carbon footprint led to the decision to preserve all the existing constructions and to choose a major renovation of the building complex.

Currently, the site does not have any natural land space.

The project is keen to set up a green setting to create an island of freshness and complete the green spaces of the La Part-Dieu district:

The renovation operation gives us the opportunity to find a space in the ground where the plant can have a place in a dense district, with artificial soils.

PROGRAM AND ARCHITECTURAL CHOICES

The operation includes two phases:

A first phase concerns the ground floor+8 storeys building and its partial base, the program provides for the rehabilitation of the existing floors and an extension on the rue des Cuirassiers side. All the floors will be intended for offices, the ground floor will receive shops and activities connected to the public space.

A second phase includes the rehabilitation of the ground floor+2 storeys base around the patio (commercial premises on the ground floor, offices on the 1st and 2nd floors), to the south, as well as the construction of housing starting from the second storey.

The basement will be partially demolished to obtain natural land gardens and allow the planting of trees.

The architectural quality of the project goes through the creation of a new set of facades, coherent and differentiated is at the heart of the project, three types of facades compose it:

– The facades of the existing offices, which are being renovated

– The facades of the office extensions, which will redefine the architecture and “premium” tertiary spaces,

– The facades of the commercial ground floors, which extend both under the existing buildings and over new parts.

THE MAIN LANDSCAPE ORIENTATIONS OF THE PROJECT

From a landscaping point of view, the bias is to offer a plant framework that allows this element to forge links with the surrounding nature.

The objectives are :

• to reintegrate plants and vegetation in a site whose soils are completely artificialized 
• to promote plant continuity at the scale of the district 
• participate in the decrease of urban heat and the climatic comfort of interior spaces.

The trees of the first size will be the base of the plant framework of the landscape project to eventually form a canopy on the scale of the district in a palette of local species adapted to the site. This plant diversity will promote the sustainability of trees in urban areas and will enhance the living world.

The location of the buildings preserves a zone of natural land which will allow the planted spaces to take root in the ground and where the plants can make their vital link between the sky and the earth.

The island thus benefits from a fertile substrate, allowing the planting of a high stratum and thus offering a real garden to the users of the site.

Through the landscaped spaces of the island, we wish to contribute to the creation of an urban biotope, forming an ecosystem with adapted and complementary plants, birds and insects.

Relevant plant associations are preferred, and we focus on the variety of species and fauna, the best perennials and shrubs, from the point of view of biodiversity, mostly belonging to the local flora and contributing to the richness of the living environment. and its balance.

The evapotranspiration produced by this abundance of vegetation will actively participate in reducing the heat island and therefore in the comfort of users.

REUSE OF MATERIALS

Sogeprom is part of the Booster du Réemploi: a collective initiative of a few dozen project owners in the real estate sector who wish to concretely integrate reused materials into their operations.

The Booster, as well as the Environmental Engineering C-Pos and Cycle-UP which is our Reuse Consultant, are supporting us on this project.

The reuse diagnosis has enabled us to identify several sources of materials that we will reuse on site or offer for sale on the reuse market: raised floors, doors, sanitary equipment, cables and wiring, windows, blinds or even certain landscaping elements. . The project is in progress, but the studies allow us to estimate that the additional cost inherent in the careful removal of the materials will be offset by the savings due to the materials reused on site and the resale of the other deposits.

Major objectives of the project: limit the carbon impact of construction and reduce the amount of waste from construction. For this, the following levers have been put in place:

1. Choice of renovation / restructuring with extension, rather than demolition and reconstruction. This choice allows us to avoid 40 to 50% of the carbon footprint of the structural work as well as the carbon footprint associated with deconstruction (estimated at 10% of the carbon impact of a new building).
2. Reuse: A resource diagnosis initiated at the start of the project made it possible to calculate the potential environmental impacts avoided by the implementation of the reuse process on site (367.33 tonnes of CO₂e avoided and 247.97 tonnes of waste avoided). Use of 3 types of reuses:

o Onsite reuse, which consists of incorporating materials from the deconstruction of the site into the future project

o Out site reuse: the reusable elements not selected to be reimplemented on the future project will then be put up for sale or will be donated through the cycle-up.fr platform

o External procurement: incorporate into the project materials from the deconstruction of other sites in the vicinity.

3. The implementation of low-carbon solutions such as wood for the extensions (structure, floor and wooden coat wall), bio-sourced insulation, wood joinery and low-carbon concrete are studied to both limit the carbon impact of the materials used and to maximize the storage of biogenic carbon, estimated at more than 700 tons of stored carbon.
