This project takes up two old shop spaces on the corner of rue Fieffé and rue Eugène Leroy.The design, 3dance studios, changing rooms and a few offices, will neatly fit into the allotted volume.

The spaces are organized in a very straightforward way:

• on the east side, the studios are super imposed for the ground floor to the roof.
• on the west side side, the« annexes »/extensions are organized on half levels:the reception,the faculty offices,the student recreation center,the changing rooms,the restrooms.
• in the center is a service gallery, bright and comfortable.

One of the goals of the project, « dancing with the city », is achieved by a special care given to the light and the facades, with most notably the use of « box-windows » and shed roofs, which, for the two top studios,open on the rooftops and the sky.

On the south side, the building presents a more technical facad:photovoltaic panels and solar sensors for the ECS, which, along with other devices, shares in the sustainable design of the other equipment.

A thin wooden sheath envelops the north facade and high lights the presence of this singular house with in the neighborhood.
