ZDF Studio Paris – Paris (FR)
ZDF Studio Paris
The project was about a major renovation of the Southern Europe headquarters of the ZDF (Second German Television Channel) in the sixteenth arrondissement of Paris, consisting of two buildings around a central courtyard. The operation demanded for the partial rehabilitation of the facades, the replacement of some windows and the revision of the zinc and slate roofing. In a first step the front building had been renovated to accommodate the offices of the ZDF, a recording studio with the necessary acoustic design (suspended ceiling, wall covering, sound proof windows, furniture…) and the cutting rooms. A new electric installation of the entire building with parabolic antennas on the roof was done, as the installation of an air conditioning / ventilation by heat pump. In a second step, the back building was renovated into office spaces, partly occupied by a German radio. During the operation, the ZDF stayed on the site.
