Arte Charpentier has just completed “In’Cube”, Danone’s new research and innovation center located on the “Plateau de Saclay”, the European Silicon Valley, a science cluster of international renown, 20 km south of Paris.
The wooden building, designed with a low-carbon approach, aims to facilitate the development, testing, and cultivation of innovative activities, as well as to optimize the quality of life at work. The central atrium, in fact, promotes meetings and resumes the codes of a town square.
With this project, Arte Charpentier has given shape to the Danone group’s vision, integrating an advanced reflection on technical and regulatory aspects, on the hybridization of structures, the sustainability of materials, the reuse channel, and the circular economy.

Visual harmony and aesthetic
Now, more than ever, interior design is a balance of form and function, a dialogue between architecture, materials and finishes that transform and make the most of the space involved.
