Mondo receives the HQE Excellent certification

Located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, Mondo is a rehabilitation and merging project of two buildings totaling 32,000 m². Designed by Béchu Associés, it perfectly illustrates the potential to transform existing structures into virtuous, high-performing, and resilient workspaces. Atelier Franck Boutté supported the environmental approach.

This HQE Excellent certification rewards a pioneering approach focused on:

• Urban biodiversity: cool patios, green roofs, urban agriculture, and a biodiversity refuge encouraging the return of ecosystems to the city.
• Carbon footprint reduction: use of bio-based and local materials, timber structures for certain rebuilt parts, and a circular approach to material reuse.
• Optimized resource management: rainwater recovery and management, high-performance dual-flow ventilation, and rooftop photovoltaic panels.
• User well-being: maximized natural light, thermal comfort, and optimized indoor air quality (enhanced ventilation rates, limited VOCs, CO₂ management).
• Sustainable mobility: areas dedicated to soft mobility (bicycles, electric vehicle charging), promoting low-carbon alternatives.

Ambitious certifications for an ambitious project:

• HQE Exceptional

• WiredScore Platinum – advanced BMS and automation for optimized building operation

• Targeted labels: LEED Gold, WELL Gold, BiodiverCity, BBCA

A big congratulations to Mauro Contreras who masterfully led the project, to project owner Gecina, to AAA Béchu, and to all the experts who contributed to making this project a benchmark in sobriety, resilience, and well-being.
