Cour Bareuzai redevelopment opens in Dijon, France
The Cour Bareuzai retail development has opened to the public in the UNESCO World Heritage city centre of Dijon, France.
The development involved the careful renovation of a 17th/18th century mansion house building formerly used as offices for Dijon's local authorities. The context-sensitive scheme creates 2,300m² of new high-end retail and restaurant space across three floors, designed to blend harmoniously with their surroundings. A wall which blocked views to the historic buildings was demolished.
