Khlafi HQETM Bâtiment Durable 2016 Excellent level BREEAM® IRFO 2015 (being processed) The Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection bears witness to five centuries of architectural history in Paris. The circular building was originally used as a market hall, later as a stock exchange. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the building has been rented for 50 years from the City of Paris to the collector François Pinault. From 2016 to 2021, the building was completely renovated by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando, along with French architecture agency NeM / Niney et Marca, but also Chief Heritage Architect Pierre-Antoine Gatier, and transformed into an art museum for Pinault’s collection. Besides the huge glass dome of the heritage-listed building, the central large courtyard flooded with light is characteristic for the architecture. The natural light is carried deep into the building by using highly transparent glass for a large part of the doors and partitions as well as smoke barriers. The glass for this was supplied by Vetrotech SAINT-GOBAIN in collaboration with the company T.S.M. The CONTRAFLAM® STRUCTURE from Vetrotech used for the partitions sets new technical and visual standards in transparent fire protection. The patented flush-mount glazing achieves fire resistance classes from EW30 to EI120 without vertical frame profiles, while at the same time providing maximum transparency and colour neutrality. The butt-joint fire-rated glass partitions of the auditorium have exceptional dimensions of 2.3 m width per pane and meet highest requirements regarding sound insulation. Green label & certification
