In the heart of the 17th arrondissement, between the iconic Parc Monceau and the charming Batignolles village, the Galia Group is introducing La Fondation—a groundbreaking 10,000-square-meter destination redefining luxury, lifestyle, and urban design in Paris. Designed by renowned architecture firm PCA-STREAM, this ambitious project seamlessly merges hospitality, art, wellness, and workspaces, creating an all-in-one hub unlike anything else in the capital.
A Modern Architectural Masterpiece with a Soul
Set within a transformed 1960s brutalist building, La Fondation Paris boasts an awe-inspiring redesign featuring a five-star hotel, two restaurants, a rooftop bar, state-of-the-art office spaces, an auditorium, a suspended garden, and a comprehensive sports and wellness club. Designed in collaboration with Roman & Williams, the interior architecture infuses elegance, warmth, and creative energy into every space.
The result is a vibrant sanctuary that celebrates both modernism and sustainability, blending raw materials with abundant greenery, thanks to landscape design by Christophe Gautrand & Associés.
