Real estate as an adjustment variable : toward the "office as a service"

Axel Schoenert

Architect & Co-Founder - Axel Schoenert architectes

Axel Schoenert founded the Franco-German Axel Schoenert architectural firm with his wife Zsofia Varnagy, interior designer, in 1999 in Paris. With a multicultural team, the agency builds its business, in France and internationally, in the fields of architecture, interior design, design and furniture design. The firm’s priority is to promote an eclectic vision of its work and favor the diversification of the field by intervening both on new projects as well as on complex revamps. Their expertise is put to use on all types of programs and on all types of scales: offices, hotels, restaurants, spas, housing, public buildings and cultural facilities. Among his remarkable projects, the restructuring and new construction of SHIFT 54 London (Winner of the SIMI Grand Prix 2018), the UFO future headquarters of Le Bon Coin, measuring over 7 000m², the Belvédère at La Défense, the Puteaux city hall in 2013 (Winner of the ArchiDesignClub Awards in 2015); renovations of office buildings in the center of Paris such as Octo Technology’s 34 avenue de l’Opéra and the 4-6 rue d’Athènes seat of the MNT, the world headquarters of Sephora, rue Ybry in Neuilly-sur-Seine; or even refurbishments of the 4 co-working spaces created in France by one of the leaders of the sector, the WeWork company. Cultural areas, restaurants and fitness centers are also part of the agency’s references. In Paris, for example, it has revamped the first hotel in France of 25hours Hotel Terminus Nord, the Beauchamps hotel incorporating the theme of “Flâneur”, and the first two MEININGER hotels which will open to the public in October 2019 in Paris and Lyon.
