5 Strasbourg Street Build on the existing
This project proposed to build on an existing ground floor that needed to be rehabilitated. It was a music shop that was retained but modified to accommodate circulation, technical rooms and access for the residents. The two older buildings on either side of the project have different floor heights and therefore the floors are not aligned. To avoid this unaesthetic issue and to stimulate the illusion of the same height, the circulation is placed on one side in a slight recess. The circulations are external and do not appear massive from the street. The four floors of housing are identical except for the shape of the balcony. The typical dwelling has been repeated, creating the impression that they are different blocks that are superimposed. The apartments, in a 3 rooms typology, are organised as follows: the living rooms to the west, along the street, and the bedrooms separated by a technical strip where the humid areas are located. The slopes of the slabs differ from one floor to the next and give rhythm to the façade. This also creates different atmospheres and views. A space was created above the music shop for several reasons. The first was that the shop already had a certain height that we wanted to keep. The second was that we had to align ourselves with the façade of the neighbouring building. And finally, the shop could generate noise that we didn’t want to cause to the inhabitants of the houses. This space is therefore a means of breaking the transmission of noise. Moreover, this space can be appropriated by residents, they can meet there to share moments as if they had a garden in the heart of the block. Finally, this void and the void created by the open stairwell create the illusion of a block of housing floating in the void, gravitating.

Fifth semester Ensa Nantes
Due to its strategic location, redesigning the area seemed essential. The main goal here was to link the site into a green belt to integrate it into the existing neighbourhood. In order to achieve the integration, the first step was to remove as much as possible of the fences. This principle of decloturement also makes it possible to work on the residentialization of the high school’s functional housing by using the existing topography and by relying on certain low stone walls that supported the fence to form semi-private spaces between the housing and the park. On the other hand, the circulation of the park is designed to connect to the existing pedestrian circulation. Alleys have been designed as an extension of the pavements to ensure that schoolchildren can get around, while the rest of the park is organised around paths that are more suitable for walking. The courtyards also frame the views of the park through their shape and thus integrate the buildings into the planted area. Outdoor spaces were made practical thanks to a precise management of the vegetation density We also worked on the density of the vegetation, which allows us to formulate the spaces. On a smaller scale, we want this new urban park, which enlights the entrance to the city, to keep going and stretch out until it takes over the street. Currently, the Street of Déportés Résistants has a road character that is not conducive to the establishment of a neighbourhood life and integration with the pedestrian routes in the town centre. For this reason, it has been decided to adopt classic road design principles by favouring soft traffic to motivate young people and residents to go into the town centre without using their cars. Thus, the pavements have been enlarged and protected by trees. The main road is also reduced to encourage motorists to reduce their speed.

CIL Notre Dame d’Yron School & Chanzy Square rehabilitation
Bring new programs around the ecological transition ina small town called Cloyes-les-trois-rivières. A solidarity canteen, accommodation for pilgrims and tourists, a market of local products and a bicycle stop are all taking place on this site. The aim is to connect them to the central axis of Cloyes-sur-le-Loir by redesigning the streets and accesses to both the square and the surrounding areas. The main streets have been redesigned, with the Street des Fossées becoming entirely pedestrian, and the Street Saint-Georges being resized to accommodate a cycle path. In addition, the square is taking on a new shape with the school wall being knocked down, thus linking the old courtyard to the market square, but also with the disappearance of the 56-space car park, which was used half the time. Three buildings are therefore built on this large new square, with a correlation between the location of the programs and their uses. The unification of the buildings creates an atmosphere and a scale preserved. Adpating the buildings to the existing site was primordial to establish a continuity and fit into this urban fabric. These materials are complemented by a locally produced material, poplar wood. It becomes structural and composes the project through the wooden posts, the timber frame walls and the floors on joists. It allows for great flexibility in structure and layout, but above all it is less costly and has a controlled carbon footprint. Also, it frames the buildings with the vertical load-bearing posts that accompany the different buildings. High streets, large alley, promenades and porches composed the landscape and singularities of the site. The large planted alley, bordered by the accommodation and the bicycle stop, takes the walker to the market at the other end of the square. With the square freed from the previous parking spaces, an esplanade is created for the weekly market. An place occupied half part of the time by flat fountains and streams linked to paving stones with a vegetal joint for the permeabilisation of the soil. A double temporality comes to life with the market, the strong identity of this square, and the fountains, stimulating a reminder of the Loir, coming to animate the square.

Cartier Jacques Cartier Prison rehabilitation in Rennes
The project is located in the existing Jacques Cartier prison in Rennes. It was built in 1903 by Jean-Marie Laloy, in the middle of the countryside, and was designed on a Latin cross plan, with a panopticon principle around 177 cells, as well as surrounded by a 6-metre high and 440-metre long perimeter wall. In 2010, the prison closed and the inmates were transferred to the new penitentiary centre of Vezin. Since then, it has been abandoned and is occasionally used for training courses for prison guards. Today, with the urbanisation issue, the prison and its 1.3 hectare became a very strategic site. The prison is now located in a district where land pressure is increasing sharply and where there are different types of housing: individual houses to the north and collective housing and social housing to the south and east. As the potential project of the municipality plans to be located in the former prison, the question of the future of the surrounding wall arises. This wall surrounding the prison is a very meaningful element. Erected to separate people, it also contributed to compartmentalise the residents of the district, preventing them from seeing what was going on behind it. It creates a spatial conflict through the barrier, both physical and social, that it establishes, even since it was abandoned. Especially since the wall is a figure that can be found at the scale of the neighbourhood, the wall is repeated in different places, reinforcing the segregation of the different housing programmes. This is why it was decided to work around this enclosing wall, asking ourselves how this physical, visual and social barrier could be included without being abrogated? The programme then stems from these different observations and orientations and is organised around the question of housing. The new thickness brought to the fore by the presence of the wall is dealt with by the creation of individual and collective housing on the one hand, and by the installation of a student residence on the other. Then, a public facility, a bouldering hall (climbing) will be installed, and a connection between the existing squares will be established by extending the public space on certain roofs.

REbUILD Museum, cultural research center and hotel in Sicily
A Classical Antiquities Museum, a Research Center and a Hostel designed on the Island of Sicily in Italy. REbUILD stands for Rupture Enlightened by Ubiquitous Irregularities & Landmark. In fact the project takes place on a site between two different urban planning. One is organically build, following the shape of the topography and the other is based on a rigid grid. The main goal was to enlighten this rupture and to provide a place to wander, rest, visit, spend time for the visitors and residents. One of the first aims is therefore to take into account this state and to transcribe it into the project. For this purpose, a new architectural style, transcendent and original, is brought to the site. This monolithic architecture accompanies the transition between the two urbanisations but also accentuates its strategic position. Like a European city, Ortigia is a relatively small city centre with a low urbanism that honours the human scale. The project takes into consideration the comfort and pleasure of pedestrians by giving them a free path. The old ring road is removed and the passage is free for passers-by to enter the new pedestrian street created and accompanied by activities and patios. The form of each of the buildings is directly influenced by the programme within it. The objective was both to propose original and strong forms and to let the buildings take shape by themselves according to the needs of each, in terms of atmosphere and quality of space in particular. Thus, the hotel is located to the north, facing the sea; the research centre in the area with the least interaction for privacy; and the museum at the foot of the Apollo temple ruins. The latter takes up the principle of the promenade in its design. The continuous space offers a lot of freedom for different exhibitions. The work around the form gives it a great variety of space with different angles to produce different atmospheres within the same building. The topography of the site is taken to its advantage by allowing monumental entrances for each of the programmes without gaining too much height and oppressing the neighbouring buildings.

The waves project Cultural center in Chicago
Chicago 78 is the newest neighborhood in Chicago described as “a modern city center, that integrates technology, culture, wellness and design to achieve the highest quality of urban living”. In this 62 acres place, the cultural aspect is highly promoted by the city but doesn’t include such programs as a library and a museum. These programs are places of learning, gathering and exploration, that the large population, who will be brought there with Chicago 78, will be able to enjoy it. In order to integrate the project to the site and follow up the ideas of the new neighborhood, I work on a continuity with their river’s edge. The goal is to intensify the pedestrians flows coming from Chicago 78 and to reveal a path that goes straight toward the Ping Tom Memorial Park, a preserved natural park. Due to its location and its function, a critical mass of people is lucky to travel through the project. To answer this situation, the first floor of the project is almost entirely open to the public and provide programs such as a café/restaurant, a bookstore and other more. The architecture works as a response of its surrounding with the Chicago River, it is inspired by the organic structures in nature such as the submarine current. This idea was combined with the power of a single piece of paper that could be fold, distorted and move into space to create a shape that answer the needs of the different programs. There was also an important work with the facade to create an uniformity but also some distinctions according to the need of light of each space. The distance between the vertical struts change and create a rhythm on all over the facades and different atmosphere wheter you are in the auditorium, in a exhibit area or the library.

Wellness center, body and soul care. Health and wellness are two words that go hand in hand. The purpose of many Wellness Centers is to guide people into a better lifestyle. This could be anything from providing fitness programs tailored to each individual’s needs or actually providing exercise equipment. Here, the architecture is designed to be the main element providing calm and serenity to the people. Mixed use of stone and natural wood to remind the patient a feeling of nature, of simplicity which bring him to his roots.
