The building was awarded the "Prix Reynolds" in 1962. It marked the start of a long collaboration with Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand. Lagneau, Weill, Dimitrijevic, Prouvé and Perriand collaborated on the "Maison de Sahara" in 1958, a prototype developed in Paris in 1958 showing an innovative approach to solving the problem of extreme heat. The prototype building included cabins that were air-conditioned in the daytime and open to the desert at night, contained within a tent that provided the central living space. Later work included the Prefecture and the Palace of Justice of Évry, Essonne, with Weill and Lagneau in 1975. He designed the Marinas of Cogolin in the Var department, a new departure for Dimitrijevic, and collaboration on the 120,000 square metres (1,300,000 sq ft) Quatre-Temps shopping center in La Défense, a business district of Paris, which opened in 1981.
