"This is an operation to transform offices into housing in a suburban area. For us, rehabilitating is a strong ecological act. We believe that this operation is a demonstration of this. On the one hand, rehabilitating will always be more efficient from a carbon footprint point of view rather than destroying to rebuild, but on the other hand, we have tried to implement bio-based materials in the new constructions." - Valentin Bernard and Hélène Latour, La Soda, architects
