Formerly the City of Fashion and Design, the couture and fashion professions are taught there in an innovative style within collaborative, flexible and convivial spaces. Present at all floors of the building, they are considered the matrix of the project. Wood in all its forms brings warmth like for Parisian fashion houses and creates the identity of the International Campus. On the ground floor, the interior street created enables the school to open on the city.
Restructuring of housing complex as part of a mixed operation. Creation of a 55 housings’ residence for students and researchers, and a center of research.
Buildings located at 8 and 10 rue de Charles V, were built respectively in 1938 and during the 17th century. These were gathered in the aim of hosting the reopening of the Center of Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI).
The renovation of the technological halls is the cornerstone of an ambitious renovation program that aims to give the ENSAM School a new face and allow it to stand out as an \”engineering school of the future”, at the forefront of technological development.
The restructuring of the halls took place over three core interventions.

Sixty years after it was first built, the CROUS Mabillon student restaurant has been restructured and renovated, and its façade cleverly utilised.
The concrete frontage walls have been covered by split chestnut poles that allow the penetration of a filtered light that can be dimmed during the summer. This rough-finished material successfully provides a solution to thermal, economic and comfort problems.
58, rue de Mouzaia, Paris 19th: at this address, a representative work of brutalism was delivered in 1974, co-signed by Claude Parent and André Remondet. However, after 45 years of existence, the building had lost its visual strength: blackened surfaces, erosion, bared irons… In charge of transforming this office building into a housing complex, Canal architecture workshop (Patrick Rubin) seized this opportunity to restore and reveal a dense and strong architecture, while giving it the amenity that suited its new function. This case study is an example of reversibility, a notion that Canal also defends for today’s architecture.
Le Grand Marais is a former 250sq data centre converted into a flat, located in a building dating from the 1970s on the outskirts of Le Marais in Paris. This building, belonging to the largest co-ownership in Paris, includes mixed programmes of offices, housing, amphitheatre, swimming pool, etc.
The first challenge of this project was therefore to evoke the 1970s inside the flat. This was notably achieved through the choice of materials: the omnipresent plexiglass, coloured metal joinery, iridescent curtains, concrete.
With the completion of its new headquarters, the 1,600 employees of the Le Monde Group have been brought together under the same roof in a generously arching building on 67-69 Avenue Pierre-Mendès-France in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. With its bold new plaza and semi-transparent outer skin, the building creates connections to the general public and surrounding transit while also offering citizens and passersby a generous respite in the city. On December 11, 2020, the building received the prestigious French real estate prize, the Grand Prix SIMI, within the category “New Office Building Larger than 10,000 m²”
Among the 22 architectural projects selected from the call for innovative urban projects launched by the City of Paris, ‘REINVENTER PARIS 1’, our EDISON LITE project proposed a new housing model, based on three main principles that we established.
The creation of ‘made-to-measure’ housing units, whereby the future residents were able to participate in establishing the brief as well as the design of their home;
Delvaux – the oldest luxury leather goods house in the world – opens a new Parisian boutique, its fourth in the French capital. The store is situated in Rue Saint Honoré, one of the most famous streets for luxury retail.
Just a stone’s throw from the Jardin des Tuileries and the elegant Place Vendôme, a stunning listed building was chosen as the exclusive location for the Delvaux boutique. Vudafieri-Saverino Partners were once again commissioned to add their unique stamp. The Milan-based architecture practice has designed Delvaux boutiques around the world since 2012, giving each store a narrative slant that differs according to the characteristics and culture of each city, from Milan to Hong Kong, from London to New York.
Circular economy. Making more with less. More environmental performance, a smarter use of the floor, a better management of investment and maintenance costs, and a strong will to embody the City of Paris innovative and proactive commitment towards reusing materials and building with a concern for landscape. Thus, the solid oak façade of the building is entirely built up from reused and transformed landing doors. This wooden second skin gives to the building a sense of cohesiveness, of air, light and porosity ; openness and protection. The building physiognomy, façades and green rooftop generate a new landscape in which the building itself is more perceived as part of a garden than just adjoining the street.
