Targeted building & district
2 pilot buildings : Pacifique & Seine St-Germain
+20% housing increase
Located on an island in the river Seine, the Île Saint-Germain district is a unique mixed-use area combining a large park, office buildings, housing, and a university campus. Despite its dynamism, the district faces specific challenges linked to its geography and aging infrastructure:
The island relies on a single bridge for connection to the city, creating significant mobility constraints.
Public transport is insufficient, with only one bus line running every 30 minutes and no service on Sundays, forcing reliance on private vehicles.
Buildings from the late 1980s no longer meet modern environmental standards and need repurposing to accommodate a growing population.
BLUEPRINT aims to modernize this district by prioritizing energy efficiency, low-carbon construction, and better connectivity.
The project focuses on the deep renovation of two strategic buildings and the enhancement of the surrounding area through five key use cases:
⚡ Energy-efficient renovation: upgrading the “Pacifique” (conversion to housing/shops) and “Seine Saint-Germain” buildings to meet zero-carbon goals.
🤝 Citizen engagement: creating a “neighborhood hub” that integrates digital tools and cultural spaces to involve the community in redesigning the district.
🚲 Sustainable mobility: deploying shared mobility solutions and e-bikes to bridge the transport gap and improve connection with Greater Paris.
♻️ Circular economy: piloting material reuse strategies during construction to reduce waste and demonstrate resource efficiency.
🌡️ Climate-resilient design: integrating energy-efficient façades and renewable energy systems to adapt urban infrastructure to climate change.
The pilot is led by a partnership between local governance and technical innovators:
Issy Media (lead pilot partner)
Responsible for communication and new technology development in the city.
City of Issy-les-Moulineaux
Engaging local stakeholders, building owners, and the urbanism department.
BLUEPRINT technical partners
Providing expertise in BIM, GIS, and energy communities.
