A hospitality inspired office near Paris designed to foster

experience, exchange and innovation

—

Near Paris, at the heart of Campus Grand Parc, the BYOS project offers a compelling new vision of the workplace. Conceived by Biehler Graveleine, under the direction of Marc-Antoine Biehler and Amaury Graveleine, the project reimagines the office as a space of hospitality, experience and human connection.

Designed within the organic architecture of a building by EXPERIENCE, BYOS sits inside a district dedicated to life sciences and innovation, just moments from the Gustave Roussy Institute.

From workplace to welcoming space

At BYOS, traditional office codes are quietly dismantled. The reception adopts the language of a hotel lobby, while the central atrium unfolds as a light-filled indoor square, encouraging encounters, pauses and informal exchange. Circulation areas become experiential paths, designed not just to move through the building, but to invite conversation and presence.

Rather than imposing a new identity, Biehler Graveleine extend the existing architecture, following its curves and volumes with precision and restraint.

A rare material palette for the tertiary sector

The interiors are defined by a demanding and refined material palette, rarely seen in office architecture. Archival rosewood, sourced from 1970s reserves, brings warmth and depth. Radiant travertine flooring ensures visual continuity across the lobby, gallery and atrium, while stainless steel elements reveal the building’s structural thickness and articulate thresholds.

Far from decorative, each material amplifies the architectural gesture, reinforcing the idea that design should extend architecture, not disguise it.

The office as a lived experience

With BYOS, the office is no longer a neutral container for work. It becomes a place of life, where innovation is supported by atmosphere, comfort and care. The project stands as a powerful example of how hospitality inspired office design is reshaping the future of work — not through spectacle, but through experience, material honesty and human scale.
