Implanted in the inner city of Grenay (Pas-de-Calais, France), the media library offers the municipality with a cultural equipment designed to answer the need of population. The project is located at a triangular crossroad between three old mining conglomerations which used to constitute the town. The immediate urban fabric is mainly composed of pavilions and it was essential to the contractor that this location become the centre of Grenay. Before conceiving the project, the cultural team visited several European libraries. Dutch facilities and their organization of light and numerical comfort particularly caught their attention. A substantial part of the building was lifted in order to offer a view on the horizon and preserve a transparency toward the south of the city. The ground floor is thus alleviated and the visitor’s curiosity aroused by both the interiors and the light which filters through vertical slots. The entrance of the library and its general configuration contains no obstacles The smooth roof allows visitors to park their bikes underneath, meet, discuss and share ideas. The acoustics provide calm and serenity and it is possible for the readers to isolate themselves in multiple spaces which merge as a cluster toward the reception.

The building is located in the upper part of the town. It backs onto the woods, forming the final outlying limit of the built-up area.

The concept for the hotel was inspired by its location – two lakes and a green valley surrounded by the steep, forested slopes of Belluno’s Alpine foothills, where the dominating element is the woodlands. This was the key factor on which Daniele Menichini’s architect’s studio based their project and Toscana Interiors carried it out. The woods were abstracted and reconstructed inside the bedrooms to create a link with the outside, featuring sycamore, linden, willow, birch, poplar, elm, beech and sweet chestnut trees. Trees outside and trees indoors, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment, a warm and physical place to spend the night, dreaming of sleeping outdoors under a starry sky.

The “green room” project originates from architect Daniele Menichini’s eco-sustainable and eco-friendly approach to the projects he develops for the horeca sector, as well as for other client areas.
Each concept is developed by means of a search for solutions and products that have the least possible environmental impact and maximum energy saving – a philosophy that does not preclude elements of development, innovation and technology.
This expansion project, in order to create a private home within a building complex, is based on the recovery of the top floor of a building used as a hotel, and its large pocket terrace.
