Transformation of a massive VOLUME, closed and geometrically confused, in an open space, diaphanous and representative. From the obligatory response to site constraints (existing structure, easements for the facilities, low ceiling …) is designed a light building, without closures, without interior walls, simply a part of PUBLIC SPACE conveniently bounded, climatized and equipped.

The perimeter landscaped courtyards, which are generated because the existing drop between interior and exterior, qualify the indoor space and the urban environment, before too grey.

The facades (modules of steel mesh, sheet metal modules), cover (aluminium plates, pieces of precast concrete), the partitions (dry partitions, metal profiles, glass), finishing (Trespa panels, rubber flooring) reflect a desire to minimize waste and energy costs, both in construction and in the future (if it is any) deconstruction.
