This ambitious scheme , led by Arte Charpentier , under the impetus of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield , attracted Nestlé France , who chose to set up their first Centre of Nutritional Expertise in France . The 2 500 employees of the various brand names belonging to the group , such as Nespresso , Nestlé Waters , Herta , Galderma , etc are brought together within SHIFT ’ s 46 000 m ².
Designed like a garden , SHIFT integrates plants into its interior with its 1,800 m ² of private terraces , loggias , and balconies . The former technical roof has been transformed into a landscaped and green terrace on 2 600 m ² offering real living spaces : an alternative outdoor workspace , a restaurant for lunch in the greenery , and 1,000 m ² of urban agriculture operated by Sous les fraises , which partly feeds the RIE with the virtuous and educational aim of raising awareness of the notions of ecology and proximity .
Reinventing the uses and ways of working in an existing building , SHIFT operates an architectural and ecological transition of the building which aims at the double certification BREEAM “ Excellent ” and HQE “ Exceptional ”. SHIFT is a laboratory for experimenting with future practices , such as urban agriculture .
