David Roulin, associate director of Art&Build, talks about this project.

The building was purchased by the City of Paris to rehouse the Public Buildings and Architecture Department. The location of the site, close to the ring road, required the creation of a high-performance acoustic barrier with the innovative development of a double skin façade. 

Open in late 2016 in Paris, Opalia will be the tallest and largest wooden building in France. Featuring CLT floors and the innovative south-facing double skin set on a wooden frame, the building comprises 8 levels above ground and 2 below.
