OBEX CORTEX EPDM, Paste & Primer ensure watertight performance in Paris’s newest cultural landmark.

The historic Renault factory site on Île Seguin is being reinvented into a premier cultural destination, led by property developer Emerige. The mixed-use project comprises a contemporary art centre—featuring eight gallery spaces—and a 220-room art-hotel, where each room showcases work by a contemporary French artist. The development will include exhibition spaces, a cinema, performance venues, and landscaped public areas.

To support this transformation OBEX CORTEX EPDM, Paste & Primer were across the building envelope. They systems provide robust, flexible waterproofing for critical junctions, terraces, and rooftop interfaces—ensuring long-term durability and resistance to the Seine’s climate, while upholding design excellence on this evolving cultural island.
