Text description provided by the architects. It all started on a September night in 2009 when we all settled up there, on the roof, or at least what remained of it. The building had been through a major fire a year before. The scene was set. The outlook of this area quickly turned into a crazy challenge: design and achieve a shell-free space with, as reference marks, only half-burned out staircases leading to the lower level, a huge scaffolding structure used as a roof, and a 360° view over Paris.
