In Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, the new headquarters of Eiffage Construction's île-de-France regional division now houses the company's construction, property and development business lines.
This new high-performance and sustainable head office demonstrates Eiffage Construction's commitment to sober and innovative construction.
A new collective momentum
Housed in the former Ricqlès distillery, this 14,000 m² project brought together construction, property and development teams from across the Paris region in a single location.
The new headquarters aims to promote synergies between business lines, collaborative innovation and shared resources, while reinforcing Eiffage Construction's unique business model as a builder-developer-planner.
A tangible commitment to sustainable construction
Designed from the start of its renovation to meet the challenges of energy sobriety, La Distillerie boasts a carbon saving of more than 30% compared with a standard building, i.e. more than 6,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent avoided.
This performance is based on:
- The use of low-carbon concrete: concrete was prepared where it works with a maximum proportion of low-carbon concrete: CEM III, CEM IV and H-UKR (Clinker-free concrete).
- Economy of materials: no technical floors to reduce structural weight, installation of manual blinds and minimum use of concrete.
- The reuse and upcycling of materials, with 90% of the building's initial weight reused and/or recycled through selective deconstruction, and 30 to 40% upcycling of furniture including the old chairs from the Palais de Chaillot, used in the auditorium.

Exemplary energy performance
The building incorporates: a field of 23 probes drilled to a depth of 150 m that feeds a closed circuit, 80% of the hot and cold supply is provided by this geothermal energy, a hot-cold pump and a geocooling system controlled by the ground temperature.
These initiatives enable a 41% reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling compared with conventional district heating.
Demanding environmental labels

- BBCA Excellence: the highest rating of the label, attesting to exemplary low-carbon construction.
- BREEAM Excellent: international certification reflecting the environmental performance of buildings.
