The urban regeneration zone of Clichy- Batignolles covers over 133 acres of land (54 hectares).
Located in the 17th Parisian precinct, it is one of the most ambitious urban projects currently led by the city.
The site bears the historical signs of transportation and logistics activities, facilitated by the train lines leading to Saint Lazare train station and the close beltway. Therefore, the stakes of the project can be summarized by the single idea of designing a dense built environment for this neighborhood. Hence creating the possibility to include this isolated railway site into a very much needed urban continuity.
Drawing inspiration from Gare Saint-Lazare’s extraordinary heritage as the first railway station in France, and its presence within the impressionist paintings of Claude Monet, the project is designed to reshape the district’s dense urban environment, and reconnect visitors to the spirit of Paris.
The Giacometti Institute was created on the initiative of the Giacometti Foundation, which owns the biggest collection of Alberto Giacometti’s works.
The Institute is the reference place for Giacometti’s work and an art history center which includes exhibitions, research and pedagogy.
With a surface area of 350 m2, the Giacometti Institute is located at 5 Rue Victor Schœlcher in the 14th arrondissement, the Montparnasse neighbourhood where Giacometti lived and worked throughout his career.
Binet is a new generation of businesses incubator, which incorporates a specific quality of life, expressed by the workspace’s generosity and the facades openings. Its architecture reminds of the daylight factories. Terraces, workspaces, qualitative landscaping, views, multiple orientations … in short, an architecture that transforms urban and programmatic constraints into real assets. The facades of the building open on all sides with large regular bays. The entrance is through the lobby overlooking the garden, on the ground floor.
The project is one of the priority sites of the Urban Renewal Project, on which the City of Paris has decided to strengthen its action.
The competition team was led by Mario Russo, with Amilcar da Rocha Ferreira; Alba Bui with Clément Dupuy, Gregorio Pettoni and Guillaume Piveteau completed the studies; Stefano Lunardi and Adrien Fournier followed the site work.
Adoma’s challenge was the construction of an apartment house with 71 units for young workers, standing atop a former parking garage beside the Paris beltway. A challenge whose main purpose was the creation of small but pleasant and quality units in a difficult urban setting. Comprised of a “signal” building which emerges from a “blade” building, the project’s location bordering the Paris beltway takes advantage of its particular relation between architecture and infrastructure.
The project that RATP has entrusted to us consists of the realization of 2 housing buildings imbricated with a bus center.
In a specific and referenced work based on emblematic Parisian operations (Eugène Beaudoin and Marcel Lods: Atlas passage, Henri Sauvage: Vavin street), the 1st building of our operation implanted rue Père Corentin presents a stepped facade combined with terraces, designed to receive a generous vegetation and solve the wide gap existing between the buildings that surround it: a R+2 Mansart-type pavilion and a R+12 building resulting from the modernity. This graduation work opens this narrow street to the sky and desaturates its noisy ambiance.
MAD reveals its first residential project to be constructed in Europe. Located in Clichy-Batignolles, a newly developed neighborhood in Paris, UNIC is next to Martin Luther King Park and the currently-under construction courthouse designed by Renzo Piano. MAD won the project through an international design competition in collaboration with local French architects Accueil – Biecher Architectes.
“We worked closely with the local government, city planners and local architects in a series of workshops to ensure UNIC is a creative and iconic residential project united with the community,” revealed MAD’s founder & principal partner Ma Yansong.

Seven-theater cinema with cultural space, community center with concert space and dance studios, 342 residential units, a shared garden,bespoke artwork, and retail space Three residential buildings offering exceptional views of the great Parisian landscape anchor three corners of a mixed-use block. At the heart of the project is a cultural center for the new ZAC Clichy-Batignolles district in Paris’ 17th arrondissement: a seven-theatre cinema and a community center. These public volumes, anchored to the ground, give way to the public realm and are crowned with hanging gardens. Three residential blocks emerge from this base, climbing up to 50 meters. This simple distribution of masses effectively resolves the inscription of a complex program on a high-density site. Thickened facades permit a band of generous loggias around the residential blocks. Architectural precast concrete on the buildings’ facades situate the project within the material tradition of Parisian stone and concrete and gives each of the three buildings a singular expression from the ground to the sky: the twisted form with its torqued effect (sand colored), the chiseled bar with continuous balconies (in white) and the pleated tower with its progressive fold (in white).
Expressing culture through architectural elements, ADAR is a Mediterranean épicerie and restaurant entirely custom-designed in the 49th house of the historical Passage des Panoramas of Paris’ 2nd arrondissement. Demonstrating new and evolved ways of awakening all five senses, the restaurant reminds one of the unique sensory experience inherent to a culture.
Danish architects Henning Larsen, along with collaborators Reichen & Robert, dUCKS, PEUTZ & CET, have been selected for the expansion and transformation of the French Opéra Bastille, the largest opera house in Paris.
The win follows a one-year competition arranged by the Opéra Bastille, which sought to complete the original vision for the 1989 building, now the main facility of the Paris Na-tional Opera. Henning Larsen’s proposal brings a redesigned and extended public foyer open to street-level activity, expands infrastructure and workshop facilities, and adds an 800-seat modular space for use in rehearsals and performances.
