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.
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.
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.
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.
PROVENCE / Faced with a request for the exceptional, and considerable design requirements, this renovation creates a vibrant gesture that plays on vernacular architecture codes.
COLMAR HOUSSEN / Located within 215 hectares bordered by motorways, this ‘other world’ transports a summer day-tripper onto the playful and bare stage of a vast seaside theatre.
ARLES / Limited by a major archaeological discovery, the renovation of the Enclos St. Césaire into an office complex enabled the site to open up new and radical perspectives.
SCHIRMECK / In the lobby of this memorial with powerful architecture, these ultra-functional and mobile structures are also narrative objects.
