On August 1st, 2024, the real estate developer completed full transformation of a historic mansion of over 2,700 square meters located at 60B Avenue d’Iéna, Paris 16th. The asset is now renamed Villa Iéna. This project, carried out on behalf of Union Investment under a real estate development contract (CPI), was led by architects Naud and Poux, who successfully combined heritage preservation, contemporary expression and respect for the site’s history.
Built by Léon Chatenay in 1883, this Haussmann-style building has undergone several transformations. The top two floors were raised, with a reconstruction of the wooden framework and dormer windows, while a wooden made new wing was added at the rear of the courtyard. Particular attention was paid to energy performance and environmental impact, aiming for HQE and BBCA certifications for both the renovated and new parts of the building.
Villa Iéna has been fully leased to a single tenant and offers now premium services tailored to the specific needs of its occupant, blending historical elements with modern touches. The courtyard has been transformed into an agricultural greenhouse, and the green terraces, designed by Les Jardins de Gally, bring a touch of nature in the heart of Paris. An artwork by the artist Yzo is also displayed in the porch, highlighting the project’s involvement in the 1 building, 1 artwork initiative.
This ambitious project underscores Redman’s expertise and skill, as the company continues to stand out for its ability to transform historic buildings into contemporary and functional spaces while adhering to the strictest environmental standards.
