Agile Building is the story of two entrepreneurs, Cyrille and Raphaël, who each ran a smart-building company and decided to do everything together under a single brand. They unpacked their boxes on the Zecoworking floor at Pont de Neuilly in 2022. Four years later, they’re still here.
What Agile Building does
Agile Building is an engineering studio and integrator for BMS(building management systems). Concretely: everything that controls a smart building, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, lighting, blinds, access control, energy metering, centralised supervision. The team is fluent in the market’s standard protocols, KNX, BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus, DALI, LON : and on supervision platforms like Niagara (Tridium).
Four pillars: design and studies, programming, on-site technical assistance and maintenance. All against the backdrop of France’s BACS decree and Tertiary decree: the two regulations forcing the country’s tertiary buildings to slash their energy consumption. Without a serious BMS, these targets are unreachable: that’s exactly their playing field.
The references speak for themselves
A few emblematic projects the team has worked on:
- Nike House of Innovation, Champs-Élysées (Paris), retail.
- Collège des Bernardins, Paris, cultural.
- Hôtel Drawing House, Paris, hospitality.
- Le Factory et le Loft : tertiary.
- Freedom, Porte Maillot (Paris), tertiary.
- Centre Européen du Judaïsme, Paris, tertiary.
Trust measured in years
The best proof of trust is duration. Agile Building has been on the floor since 2022, two months after the floor opened to external companies, they are literally our first client. Not one commercial lease ever signed between us, no long lock-in. Just a month-by-month formula, renewed four years in a row. When a client stays this long while being free to leave any time, there’s a real relationship behind it.
And that relationship runs both ways. We watched the team grow, we watched the projects scale up. When they needed a bit more space, we worked it out. When they needed to adjust, we adjusted. No lengthy back-and-forth with a legal department: we talk founder to founder, and we figure it out.
The floor’s atmosphere
What makes the difference with an anonymous business centre is the atmosphere. The Zecoworking floor only has eight private offices, so everyone knows everyone. We cross paths at the coffee machine in the morning, we meet on the terrace at lunch when the weather’s good, we trade notes on projects, we share good contacts.
The Agile Building team is one of the pillars of the floor. They’re the first to help a neighbour with a technical question, to recommend a supplier, to lend a hand when a meeting room is overbooked. It’s a good-neighbours culture, not flatmates who ignore each other.
Flexibility that matches real company life
When you build a company, you don’t know exactly what the team will look like in twelve months. A 3-6-9 commercial lease forces you to bet. The Zecoworking floor doesn’t.
- One-month commitment, one-month notice. The formula breathes with the business.
- Meeting room included, no per-booking maths. When a client comes in to review a BMS architecture, no ticket is opened.
- Pont de Neuilly address, one stop before La Défense, eight minutes from Étoile. Ideal to host owners, partner engineering firms, installers.
- Everything included : fibre, cleaning, coffee, sparkling water, acoustic booths, 24/7 access. Zero hidden cost, zero admin friction.
Today
Agile Building keeps growing, project by project, on the Zecoworking floor at Pont de Neuilly. The legal HQ is Paris 8th (128 rue La Boétie), but operations happen here, at 13 bis rue de l’Abreuvoir, in the same human-scale atmosphere as on day one.
That’s Zecoworking’s DNA exactly: we back our coworkers for the long haul, and we’re still sharing the same coffee every morning. Trust isn’t decreed, it’s lived.
