CELP 360, Lyon

Our team has won the competition for the transformation of the Perrache hub, in the heart of Lyon, France.

Built in 1976 by architect René Gagès as the first multimodal hub in the world, this complex building located above a highway and next to a major train station was in dire need of restoration. Our adaptive reuse strategy is inspired by the “flexible framework” philosophy of Gagès, in order to develop a new destination in line with our contemporary uses and challenges. 

The Street Society designed a mixed-use program including a food ecosystem (delivery, production and distribution spaces + restaurants), a hotel (eco label Clef Verte), a mobility hub, cultural venues, workspaces and shops, as well as a rooftop parc offering 360 views on Lyon. 

As the building is currently used by more than 36 million people every year (more than 70 million in 2030), our team’s main focus is to make the transformed hub one of the most ambitious and inspiring projects in France in terms of ecological transition. Construction works will start in 2024, with an opening planned in 2028.
