In a place like Lyon, declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO due to its outstanding architectural ensemble, it is vital to conserve the city’s historical buildings and adapt them to meet today’s needs while also striving to boost their value and integrate them into the background setting.


Located on the banks of the River Saône, ESPACE Air + is designed to act as a multifunctional venue in this cosmopolitan city for professional events like presentations, seminars, conferences or cocktail parties, with the guarantee of a unique backdrop.


This refurbishment project by architects’ studio Chabanne + Partners took advantage of an existing stone building with wooden beams, integrating it into the modern-looking new facilities.


Covering a total of over 400 m2, ESPACE Air + is divided into different areas for different types of get-togethers. Taking maximum advantage of the light, its luminous interiors can be used for events ranging from presentations and meetings to cocktail parties, in this last case in its spacious dining room. Its second floor houses a conference room and private meeting rooms suitable for exhibitions of all kinds.


To give it a select distinguished feel, textures were conserved from the original building and combined with a careful selection of new materials, aimed at contributing to its air of sober elegance. The end result is a functional building, where the choice of flooring plays a particularly important role since it helps to unify the different rooms.


Chabanne + Partners decided to opt for CICLIK from the STUC collection by URBATEK – PORCELANOSA Grupo. These 119x119cm large-format porcelain tiles, made of recycled raw materials, combine outstanding technical properties with a timeless design able to suit all the building’s different rooms, thanks to the choice of modular formats and different finishes.


These innovative facilities are rounded off with an exclusive basement winery with a more industrial look. To ensure a sense of intimacy, the vaulted ceiling was conserved, combined with new furniture and a new entrance stairway, all made of metal, plus plank-shaped flooring from the ON Timber collection, whose coloured cement-effect surface bears marks evocative of wood. 


An innovative venue for professional get-togethers.

En una ciudad como Lyon, catalogada como Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO por su destacado conjunto arquitectónico, es imprescindible conservar y adaptar los edificios históricos a las nuevas necesidades con el compromiso de revalorizar e integrarse en el contexto. 


De esta forma, situado en las orillas del Rio Saona, el ESPACE Air + nace como un lugar multifuncional de esta cosmopolita ciudad donde celebrar eventos profesionales como presentaciones, seminarios, conferencias o cócteles en un enclave único.


Su diseño, creatividad del estudio de arquitectura Chabanne + Partners,  es un proyecto de rehabilitación que aprovecha e integra la construcción original de piedra y vigas de madera con las líneas contemporáneas del nuevo espacio. 


Con una superficie de 400 m²,  ESPACE Air +, los espacios se organizan en zonas adaptadas a diferentes tipos de encuentros. Aprovechando al máximo la luz, el espacio exterior se concibe totalmente diáfano para albergar desde presentaciones y encuentros a una amplia zona comedor para cócteles.  En un segundo nivel, aula de conferencias y salas de reuniones privadas donde realizar cualquier tipo de exposición. 


Con la intención de crear un ambiente distingido, se rescatan las texturas de la antigua estructura, incorporando una cuidada selección de nuevos materiales que refuerzan la sobria elegancia del proyecto y da lugar a un espacio funcional donde cobra especial importancia la elección del pavimento que debe unificar todas  las estancias.   


Chabanne + Partners, confía en la filosofía CICLIK de la colección STUC de URBATEK – PORCELANOSA Grupo, un gres porcelánico de gran formato 119x119cm a partir de la reutilización de materias primas para conseguir las mejores propiedades técnicas y un diseño atemporal que se adaptan a cada espacio gracias a su modularidad y los diferentes acabados.


El innovador espacio se completa con una exclusiva bodega en el sótano de estética más industrial. Para crear esta atmosfera más intimista, se aprovecha la arquitectura abobedada en la que destaca el nuevo mobiliario y escalera de acceso, todo en metal, sobre un pavimento  tableteado  que translada la impronta de las maderas al cemento coloreado en formato tableteado, ON Timber.


Un espacio distinto para contactos profesionales.
