Streambuilding will be a 16,000 square meter mixed-use building in Paris' 17th arrondissement. Collaboratively designed by architects PCA-Stream and the future operators of the building , it is already among the winning projects of the 2015 City of Paris call for innovative urban projects "Reinvesting Paris".
The modular and upgradeable construction is based on a timber-frame structure with concrete cores.
The building will be a true mixed-use space with 25% of services open to the public, 25% accommodation and 50% work places. Streambuilding will house offices, co-working spaces, a Zoku hotel, and a 1,200 square meter vegetable garden on its rooftop that will supply its restaurants. Hops grown on the southern facade will be used to brew hyperlocal craft beer. Further, the co-op that will run the building's urban agricultural spaces will offer jobs to local residents excluded from the workforce, thus merging environmental issues and social concerns.
Construction of Streambuilding is projected to complete in 2022.
