ALAIN SARFATI
BRINGS LIGHT
SAREA
The former building of the SAGEP (Société Anonyme de Gestion
des Eaux de Paris) is no longer in use. In its place, at 7-9 rue
Schoelcher in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, we discover a
brand new apartment building, which, like the old one, bears the
so personal mark of its architect, Alain Sarfati. Because already
in 1992, it was Alain Sarfati who was called upon by SAGEP to
transform an old office building into an emblem for the company.
Bought from the City of Paris by RIVP to create housing, the
building was therefore entrusted to the same architect to carry out
this new mission.
The recommendation of the City of Paris was to preserve the
facade designed by Alain Sarfati in 1992. It reigns, therefore,
different and yet in harmony, in the middle of the other buildings
of this increasingly white street with all its bright facades. Today,
it has simply equipped itself with thermal insulation that will give
the homes the expected comfort.
