The project of the Cité du théâtre in Paris arises as an invitation to participate, share and debate. Its aim is to create new scenic spaces for three prestigious Institutions in the world of theater at the Ateliers Berthier, built in 1895 by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opera: the Comédie-Française, the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique (CNSAD) and the Théâtre National de I’Odéon- Théâtre de l’Europe. The project proposes a large raised garden that provides visual continuity with the Martin Luther King Park located on Boulevard Berthier. This garden, conceived as a great urban setting, accentuates the prominence of the Garnier buildings, which will be restored respecting their structure and materiality.

The current building of the Wissembourg school gymnasium forms a specific urban form on a triangular plot situated in the city center. The building forms the predominant figure of this plot its southern part. The context is remarquable by the variety of the buildings typologies, some of which, like the school and the former convent, have already been rehabilitated. The work on the volumetry of the project allowed to find alignments with the neighboring constructions. The aim is to offer a unitary and sober volume integrated into this rich context of the heart of the city.
Near the Multimodal Exchange Center (railway-bus-metro-bus station), “Urban Quartz” is initiating the urban invention of EuroRennes. It is therefore taking advantage of the efficient transport network which serves the sector.
His location, strategic for an office program, meets the conditions for an integrated and lively business sector.
The program is aimed at intergenerational housing with 8 housing units intended for seniors (3 T2, 5 T3), 1 T4 housing unit intended for a student flat share, and the rest of the housing units intended for families.
The 15 parking lots planned for this operation will find their place in the silo parking lot of program A to the north of program B.
The 2-wheelers will be sheltered by the porch, accessible from the ground floor, at the interface between the street and the heart of the block to the south of the building (51 m²).
The Maison de l’Ordre des Avocats (MOdA, the headquarters of the Paris Bar Association), is an integral part of the new Cité Judiciaire, a group of buildings dedicated to the legal profession, currently under construction in Paris’s 17th arrondissement. Symbolically transparent, the life of the building, its activity and its comings and goings, will be clearly visible through its facade. The MOdA is sited so that its building fits with and references the much larger Palais de Justice (law courts) building, while standing proudly independent from it, a clear entity in its own right. Structurally sophisticated to deal with a site that sits on top of the Metro, it is also an important part of the new public urban spaces being generated here that will invigorate this neighbourhood.

The school group consists of fourteen classes, located on the edge of fields north of the village of Gidy, not far from Orleans. It meets the need to create places in nursery and primary education that has resulted from an increase in the local population.
This large building does not fall within the standards for urban architecture. Its village atmosphere is achieved by applying volumetric arrangements that make the building appear smaller than it is.
Thought a process of dialogue with the city of Montpellier, the equipment company of the Montpelliéraine region, Jean Nouvel, chief architect of the ZAC and promoter Pragma, the housing building “I-Park” facing the new town hall of Montpellier, is a building of eight levels in variable layers.
Thought like a stratified and faceted monolith, the project constitutes an urban built front in its dividing line with the street. Adjoining the project site, a public park in continuity of Lez will offer unobstructed views of the river and its banks to housing. A landscape band allows a distance between public and private spaces.
