For this exceptional project, the new skylights have an important role in capturing the light of Paris’s sky

After several years of work and transformation, Le Visionnaire – Espace François Dalle was inaugurated in September 2023. This new place invites you to discover a brand-new universe on the site of L'Oréal's historic headquarters, taking up 4200 square meters. Le Visionnaire is dedicated to the transmission of culture, inspiration and creativity to innovate and invent the future of beauty.

VELUX Commercial, the VELUX Group's division dedicated to commercial buildings, was solicited to participate in the project from the very beginning to meet the significant need for natural light on the top floor of the building, located just under the roof.

This space, dedicated to research and development in the world of hair dyes, required a very specific lighting: to have a rendering of light exactly identical to the one you would have if you were outside.  This request, unique in its kind, was both very simple in its formulation and much more complex in its implementation. The VELUX team looked for a unique glazing, never used in France on a VELUX Modular Skylight, which is an exclusivity for L'Oréal!

The result is breathtaking and will allow L'Oréal employees to work in "real conditions" on the future of beauty.

We quickly chose the integration of VELUX Modular Skylights. VELUX provided us with the solution that was technically and aesthetically consistent with our project. The profiles of the sashes identical to those of the fixed modules, together with the absence of visible actuators, give the skylight a visual continuity and a remarkable elegance.
