/ Facets on the ocean

a public terrace

/ Visual compression

a public roof

december 2008

This is about designing a roof that is destined to host different activities related to village: markets, cultural events … etc.. The roof appears as a pressure point, creating two distinct slopes that highlight the view of the fields. The structure was one of the main topic in this project. One part of the roof is suspended, while the other rests against a beam.w

/ The second life of the Rotschild’s

park

landscape architecture

february 2010

The park is located in Boulogne-Billancourt, in the suburb of Paris. The urban context is difficult, access is not encouraging. After a thorough analysis of the site (historical background, uses …) we focused on several points: reopen the park on the city and its inhabitants, and the improvement by offering other attractions such the renovation of an abandoned great house from the 19th century, a plaza, a bicycle path, a therapeutic garden and an environment-friendly swimming pool.

This is a project to plan the extension of Fublaines, a small village in Seine-et-Marne, France, which includes about forty housing. The extension raises the issues of village boundaries.The house project brings together three single houses, to create an unity, but each house has its own characteristics. Differents spaces exists and some, as the orchard, are shared.

/ Between two walls

urbanism, landscape, architecture

june 2011

This is a study of Trilport, a town of 5000 inhabitants in Seine-et-Marne, France. The main subjects were the implantation of a new “eco-district”, the creation of a new park between city and forest, and bringing a new dynamism to the city. The analysis shows us three points we have to improve: qualifying the city borders, which are the interface between urban and nature; linking up small activities areas between them and creating a new core.

The housing project was on a small area between a new street and an old orchard bordered by a former wall. Each rooms are conceived in an independant way as they have different needs. Then, they are match up together, between two walls, as a De Stijl painting.

/ Meet me on the roof

social housing, in abstracto

november 2011

The roof as a privileged shared space. Is is all about living in community, sharing services (laundry, cycles, etc..), meeting its neighborhood, contemplating views… Each one of the 18 apartments has its own relation with the roof. This is a living roof !

/ Entre-deux

social housing

january 2012

How to implant 36 apartments at the foot of a symbolic tower, freshly renovated. The purpose is to generate a new public space, in between these two buildings in order to encourage the dynamism of this district. The urban insertion is central in this outlying area of Paris. This building facilitates the circulation of pedestrians and organizes links between the differents entities. (landscaped cemetery, new urban place, a tree-lined pathway, etc.)
