Nike — House of Innovation

The scope of the project includes interior demolishment of the upper floors (Level 5 -7), MEP complete inclusive of equipment, supply and distribution as well as all vertical transportation inclusive of structure, shafts, emergency staircases, equipment and finishes.
EXA’s added value
Our winning strategy was to divide this complex 10-floor project into 2 parts: retail and workspace. Our objective was to make the French setup and works more manageable by streamlining the construction and procurement processes.
We identified 2 projects, 2 clients, 2 dedicated teams. In this way we allocated tailored resources focussed on the specific needs of each of the two identified projects. It was completed during the first and most stringent Covid lockdown and several weeks of the gilets jaunes’ central Paris manifestations.
