This urban and architectural operation, must demonstrate the added value of density in the city. It must also be an opportunity to “re‐enchant” the site of the ‘Porte de Clignancourt’. This Paris gate, now noisy and busy, is in full restructuring with the arrival of the tramway. We are betting to imagine for the future, the emergence of a renewed identity for a neighborhood located in the heart of the green belt.
Located in the city center, the 8 classes school is accompanied by an urban change of pedestrian routes. Located against the old fortification, the building on one level is sheltered by a roof terrace entirely reachable and vegetated. The specificity of the structure is a cantilever slab of 2.26 and 2.50 m. . It is connected by Schöck Effective thermal break. The building is based on a mixed concrete and steel structure. It respects HQE environmental certifications and has a carbon footprint < 250 eqCO2 / m2. The quality of the air, essential for a school is obtained by using not any material like PVC or emitting phthalates.
This project is a response to a very special request aiming to transform an old two story carpentry at the end of a courtyard in the heart of Paris, into a family house hosting 7 persons (2 adults and 5 teeangers) To fill up this very large space (320 m²) underneath a huge skylight, we have decided to provide this large void with little boxes fulfilling the needed functions. These boxes have a pitched house shape and are scattered on both levels.
The direction of the winds and the path of the sun have determined the floor plan for our project. Protected from cold north-easterly winter winds, nestling up to the forest, the aquatic park opens towards the west to make the most of cool breezes in warm weather.

The new handball arena is situated on a freeway intersection in the south-west of Aix-en- Provence. The façade is made up of metallic ellipses stacked like layered contours. At first sight, the arena has no front or back- since every side of the façade is treated equally. Only the differently arranged ellipses indicate the front of the arena. The large form embraces an events hall for 6 000 to 8 500 spectators plus a smaller training hall. The arena reacts to the site through geometrical modifications: the ellipses, hovering above another, arranged with a much stronger shift towards the forecourt than to the other sides, thus forming a large canopy to welcome the visitors of the arena. The undersides of the protruding ellipses are illuminated to manifest the building as a whole. In the evening the lights on the undersides additionally help to move the focus of the arena towards the forecourt.
