In collaboration with RH – the leading luxury home furnishings purveyor – Foster + Partners has transformed a 1970s Parisian building into a hospitality-driven gallery space with a winter garden restaurant, rooftop bar, and adjacent design studio. The new gallery is located on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the historic thoroughfare that stretches between Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe.
Giles Robinson, Senior Partner, Foster + Partners, said: “Our interventions update and enhance the existing building, in a way that is sensitive yet impactful. The design redefines the retail and hospitality experience to create a truly unique destination in the heart of Paris.”
Sarah Wai, Partner, Foster + Partners, added: “The carefully curated hospitality spaces are designed to offer the highest level of luxury and comfort for guests – whether you are dining in the light-filled winter garden or taking in panoramic views of the city from the rooftop bar.”
The gallery’s discreet entranceway is set back from the road and accessed via a landscaped pathway that wraps around the building. A winter garden restaurant is located on the lower rooftop level and has a fully gazed canopy
