Who is MGC ?

MGC (Mutuelle Générale des Cheminots) is an independent non-profit mutual insurance company with a history and strong mutualist values since its inception.

Today, the MGC mutual insurance company covers railway workers historically, but also individuals, seniors, independent professionals, local government employees, their families, and their employees.
MGC is committed to preserving the values of fellowship, mutuality, and security that form its historical foundations. Faced with the evolution of its organization and the increase in regional employees traveling regularly to Paris, MGC entrusted Clue Me with an ambitious total renovation project of 292 m² (254 m² + 38 m² mezzanine) designed to accommodate 19 employees in its Parisian offices. A strategic fit-out project enhancing architectural heritage while meeting the new mobile working methods of the mutual insurance sector.

The project challenge

The challenge was fourfold: to carry out a total renovation of the existing 254 m², transforming aging spaces into modern, functional offices for the mutual insurance company; to create a new 38 m² mezzanine optimizing the available ceiling height to generate additional surface area for offices or meeting spaces; and to design spaces adapted to the MGC organization, including a representative executive area, flex offices for regional employees visiting Paris, and lockers for personal belongings and files without occupying fixed desks. A heritage and functional transformation project for an independent mutual insurance company with strong values, accommodating 19 permanent and regional mobile employees in an optimized 292 m².
“We needed a total renovation of our 254 m² for 19 employees while enhancing the heritage of our historic premises.”

The total renovation project of the MGC offices in Paris by Clue Me included two major structural interventions that created a strong identity for the new Mutuelle Générale des Cheminots spaces. First, the creation of a new 38 m² mezzanine optimizing the generous ceiling height available in the historic premises. This mezzanine, designed and built by Clue Me, generates 15% more surface area without increasing the footprint, accommodating additional offices or meeting spaces for the 19 employees. Featuring a lightweight metal structure and contemporary design, a secure staircase, safety railings meeting ERP standards, and seamless integration into the existing volume, it creates a functional and aesthetic space. Second, the sandblasting of the original frameworks revealed the beauty of the historic wooden beams and structures, often hidden under false ceilings or layers of paint accumulated over decades. This meticulous sandblasting work (a gentle mechanical stripping that preserves the wood) brings back the authenticity and character of the building, creating a warm atmosphere and a visual link to the century-old history of MGC, founded in 1913. The exposed frameworks become a signature architectural element embodying the values of durability, authenticity, and solidity of the independent mutual insurance company.

Beyond the mezzanine creation and framework sandblasting, Clue Me completed the total renovation of the 254 m² MGC offices in Paris by designing spaces tailored to the specific needs of the mutual insurance company. A functional and representative executive space was created, offering the management of Mutuelle Générale des Cheminots a workspace worthy of the history and values of the institution founded in 1913, suitable for strategic meetings, partner receptions, and confidential daily work. Flexible offices were set up to accommodate regional employees regularly visiting Paris: mobile mutual insurance advisors visiting members in the Paris region, technical experts, trainers, and regional representatives participating in national meetings. These flex office spaces allow for optimized use of square footage (as all employees are never present simultaneously). Lockers were installed, allowing mobile employees to store personal belongings, files, and equipment during their time in Paris without monopolizing fixed desks—a practical solution facilitating internal nomadism. The total renovation included floors, walls, ceilings, complete electrical work, high-performance LED lighting, and paint in MGC identity colors, creating a modern and functional environment. The final result of this transformation of 292 m² (254 m² + 38 m² mezzanine) for 19 MGC employees combines functional modernity with heritage enhancement, embodying the mutualist values of fellowship, mutuality, and security in warm, authentic spaces reflecting the century-old history of Mutuelle Générale des Cheminots serving railway workers, individuals, seniors, independent professionals, and local government employees.

“The result of the total renovation exceeds our expectations. The creation of the 38 m² mezzanine provides the extra space we needed to accommodate our 19 employees and regional mobile staff. The sandblasting of the original frameworks is magnificent: these revealed beams create a warm, authentic atmosphere reflecting our history since 1913. The executive space is functional and representative. The flex offices and lockers perfectly meet the needs of our regional employees who visit regularly. The 292 m² now embody our mutualist values of fellowship, mutuality, and security. We are proud of these new MGC premises.”
