The Place-Victoria repositioning project is a work to transform and conserve the historical and heritage value of the public spaces of the Tour de la Bourse. S + P has worked on several important elements of these public spaces in order to create a coherent and timeless architectural continuity. The first intervention restored the vestibule to its original spirit, blurring the visual boundary between outside and inside the Hall. The noble surfaces of the Hall have been enhanced by new lighting technologies. The luminous atmosphere subtly evolves to accompany natural light and its daily cycles, transforming static space into dynamic space. S + P has laid out large gardens in the Plaza, taking inspiration from the marble shapes of the Hall floor: the Verde de Seravezza. The furrows and color changes present in the stone inspire the determination of the planted areas, the unevenness of the land, the direction of the paths and the shape of the benches on which visitors can appreciate the garden. Finally, it was essential to bring more natural light to the lower floors and to create a better interrelation between the floors. S + P widened the opening and extended the monumental staircase (preserving it and adding contemporary-looking flights) to bring natural light to the second basement.
