Supported by Nike, the renovation project for Kylian Mbappé’s first football pitch is the core of a widespread initiative engaging the local community in the outskirts of Paris.
A renewed public playing field is given back to the city as an energy container: an arena for self-expression by the means of genuine sport culture.
Led by Yard Agency, the project was designed by architecture office Laisné Roussel together and set designer Midori Hasuike.

For work we got a large room with a well-preserved stucco. The hosts wanted us to create eclecticism for them, but it’s unusual. In other words, we needed a fresh design with modern, branded furniture and a smart home system.
Paolo Tarabusi, who graduated from the University of Genoa (Italy) in 1992, is teaching project at the ENSA-PVS (French national school of architecture of Paris Val-de-Seine) and structure analysis at the ENSA-PB (École nationale d’architecture de Paris-Belleville) since 2005. Therefore the buildings created by Atelier Tarabusi, founded by Paolo Tarabusi in Paris in 2006, are designed with a strong commitment to reflecting the constructive truth of any given project.
Subsequent to delivering staff housing and reception building in 2013, this autumn the Hellin-Sebbag Architectes Associés office completed the second phase of the reconstruction of this building trades high school.
The architect’s appointment comprised different scales – from urban space to furniture.
Extreme organizational flexibility, attention to environmental quality and an accurate interpretation of the setting: these were the requirements for the headquarters of IDF Habitat, the French company in charge of the development of social housing operations. In March 2017 IDF Habitat proudly announced its new address, 15 km from the heart of Paris. Designed by Piuarch, Stefano Sbarbati and Incet Ingénierie, the winners of a competition held in 2013, the Champigny-sur-Marne headquarters were inspired by the desire to create an efficient, functional complex, and above all one that stands as an indispensable element in the area’s transformation process. The building is in fact part of the so-called “ZAC des Bords de Marne,” an ambitious redevelopment program aimed at defining a new social, cultural and productive sector connected with the city, interpreting expectations and generating a system with a strong identity.

This is a very complex project due to its extensive program and its location in the very historical center of the city of Troyes. The program consists of offices, a state committee plenary hall, a multipurpose room, other smaller committee rooms, and an 800-seat auditorium linked to the congress center area.
In a city split by rail lines, neighborhood transformation through an appreciated “eco-city” must take into account its unique scales and existing qualities :
– the smooth downtown connexion via a footbridge
– the proximity of “La Garenne” woods with their rich arboreal heritage
– an ancient and deeply-rooted gardening culture in urban areas ; and vast open spaces.

The villa was built in the ’90s. Its floor plan presents very particular proportions: a 15 metres long entrance hall which leads inside the house and a linear perspective view opening up to the garden.
The parcel shape is a narrow rectangle and one facade, which is built straight on the very limits of the plot, is blind.
