An agile, flexible, and dynamic building

One space, multiple functions

Designed as a place for meeting, exchange, and discovery, this versatile building emphasizes flexibility, sharing, and collaboration, fostering synergy between employees and the various users of the site. Dedicated to diverse uses—from activity spaces to work areas, shared spaces to divisible offices—Motion adapts to the needs of large corporations, startups, and local SMEs alike.

Reinvented Flexibility, Maximum Divisibility

With its unique A-shaped architecture, featuring façades that skillfully combine metal and wood with noble materials, the building creates a welcoming space around a green courtyard that blends harmoniously into its urban environment. This architecture stands on a formal site—a ‘prow’ that resists on one side, capable of withstanding and embracing the challenges of climate, while remaining supple, light, and enveloping on the other.

With active ground floors, Motion opens up to the public space and brings it to life.

The building’s spaces are designed to be modern, airy, and bright. Each office floor is directly connected to outdoor walkways, ensuring smooth circulation between levels and promoting optimal connectivity while allowing flexibility in workspaces. The interplay of exterior walkways contributes to solar protection for the façades and horizontal circulation for users, enabling movement around the landscaped patio—a true green heart that serves as a cooling island, enhancing summer comfort.

Beyond the animation created by these flows, the primary function of these walkways is to enable maximum divisibility of office floors. They contribute to the active life of the site, displaying and affirming it. Workspaces are organized and interact like scenes of life unfolding or projects taking shape.

A constructive approach for sustainable and high-performing real estate.

Durable materials

The materials were selected for their environmental friendliness and user comfort: a bioclimatic design ensuring compliance with RE2020 and achieving the Silver level of the BDM (Mediterranean Sustainable Building) label thanks to user comfort, energy efficiency, and the use of local materials.

The building envelope features reinforced insulation: highly efficient, it guarantees user comfort. Air treatment through a dual-flow ventilation system with heat recovery is combined with a water-to-water heat pump connected to geothermal energy.

Photovoltaic production

Motion is equipped with approximately 170 m² of rooftop photovoltaic panels, connected to ensure self-consumption and thus reduce the shared energy costs of the building.

Geothermal energy

The groundwater geothermal system makes it possible to use calories to produce heat or frigories to produce chilled water from the captured aquifer. A groundwater geothermal heat pump delivers consistent performance throughout the year.
