ARLES / This 2,000-year-old Unesco World Heritage site now fully assumes its identity as a two-faced, transformative Janus: as an archaeological site and a summer festival stage.
LAMPERTHEIM / Facing urban noise and nuisance, this child care centre raises up a protective lattice street side. In the gardens behind, the centre opens up with a play of facades drawing on the imaginary world of tree houses.
LOGELBACH / This extension radicalizes the codes of this barn to transform the existing building. The result: a homogeneous and absolutely different whole.
NOMINATED @ European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2015. ARLES / The complete renovation of a former private mansion in Arles exactly responded to the Foundation’s desire to bring a contemporary perspective on the work of Vincent van Gogh to life.
STRASBOURG / To celebrate the merger of two tennis clubs, the master plan conceived of a twin building that highlights their union in the design of the facade.
PORT-SAINT-LOUIS-DU-RHONE / At the gateway to the Camargue, the urban redevelopment of the harbour basin (40,000 m2) brings into the present a minerality perpetually exposed to sun and wind.
FRAMES / The young users of the Drülingen child care centre . . .
SKIN / Arriving at Villa Jalle means never growing weary of surprises . . .
DRULINGEN / The site fought to resist the programme; the project tamed it by protecting the site from the aggressive and by connecting with the best. A two-in-one sustainable design serving the growth of children.
