«MAISON ILE DE FRANCE» PARIS

This project was an experiment in how to design housing in line with the mode of living of the student. Located on the campus of Paris, this project would represent an environmental object that meets the needs strong in terms of renewal energy. The cylinder provided the optimal characteristics for the transfer of air.

The rooms surrounding a central atrium with inputs renewed air by vegetation climbing.

This project was done in a logic of competition in partnership between the project management issues and construction company.

Economical profitability of floors was the main purpose. We had to deal with the need to imagine several businesses in the building or the need for divide floors and easily accessible.

Many sketches have been tested to meet the needs in terms of space. The building is characterized by the transition areas (patio, fault) which are meeting spaces and relaxation for employees. Special attention in the configuration of these areas has led to scenarios of uses (garden, swimming pool, sport ..).

BUBBLE X HONG KONG

The BUBBLE X Project is shaking as a moving fluid: the body flow passing through the body during desire or arousal feelings.

Living, partying, sleeping : the project subtly dissociates two types of programs in their volumes and areas. Hotel rooms are designed as modular standardzation representing metal skin of the tower. You could imagine figures taken behing perforated metal and latex skin within such a shadow .

The project representes a large variety of recreation programs, marked by bubble’s plastic themes (sports, food, nightclub, business). How to connect the tower with its context had to be a catalyst to capture attention of pedestrians and irresistibly attract them.

Catwalks are designed by volumes made in tubes integrated with the urban landscape.

They expose themselves freely as odds over public space, such as inaccessible showcases obvious from the street.

Small budget, small project. Minimaousse is a competition that aims to promote small modular architecture suited to different uses. This year’s theme was childhood. With appropriate scale, the object should be for children a way to escape, to dream, to play.

We thought the object as a book designed with children’s size. An XL pop up in which he can fully go inside to experience the stories and not make the play.

The book unfolds in all directions, can be move to allow children to share his adventures with others.

LIVING UNDER A BRIDGE PARIS

As the name suggests, this student competition imagines architectural production through the promotion of steel. The program is based on creation of an inhabited bridge or a bridge to live is to choose from. We saw a way to combine the program a recurring fact of life in cities: housing the homeless.

Paris subway is a typical element of metal architecture. We wanted to combine two structures: those existing skytrain and housing wealth we wanted to create. The idea was to interfered in the small suburban house appropriate to the scale of the body for people on move. These small hotels are a sloping roof rail mounted and placed on the existing bridge beams ipn and slide.

THE HILLS HAVE EYES HAUGESUND

We chose a site in Norway to study the habitat in a town small enough for the country. The need was to promote a territory which is the entrance to town, trapped between two system planning: pavillionar cloth and modern grid of town. Program imposed a significant densification, the challenge was to give to a new neighborhood identity architecture that enhances Haugesund.

The main boulevard of the city was a blind barrier noise and harmful. We decided to hide under development we create. So individual housing can come to invade the plot in a grid system that recalls the establishment of this modern area. Thus we create a hill remarkable for its rising skyline looking fjords and the distance.

100 SOCIAL HOUSING MILAN

Located in a field on Milan’s suburbs, our aim was to work on density of housing units as small towers (30 to 50 m).

Our purpose was to create frees spaces as split for meeting places and recreation users.

Flats distrubutions are located to increase users progression. It was important to provide housing through-with a single apartments per floor. Public spaces dedicated to in-house residents are spread across the floors and are connected by walkways.

This work on density allowed us to highlight effect of isolation on isolate plot in rebuilding area.

The subject of my degree was in Marseille in the northern districts. He started with the exercise of land development bordering the commercial port. This place is made of small town meets in the village interspersed with large social housing. We tried to give consistency to this area by planning a slab on which we extend the residential cloth.

Designed as a kind of large-scale terrace, this habited slab allowed to answer the issue of traffic as fence to urban development.

HOUSING TRANSITION MARSEILLE

Building on the work undertaken for the masterplan, my degree has moved towards the massive construction of housing in the northern districts. I wanted to show a sequence of different kinds of housing that originated in the village cores of existing site and extending over the slab to reach a large monumental whole.

This work sequence allowed me to develop different housing toutjours always with the common vision of the sea view.

Continuing the theme of the redevelopment of the coast, the beaches of Marseille is a dynamic place where many leisure activities coexist. This project was to regain lively of the beaches by providing a link between frame on one side and the beach on the other. This sequence allowed me to create a building that unfolds accordion to offer three distinct activities: a museum, an outdoor cinema and a walk with bathing huts. The project was to purpose an activity that can be practiced on a small area and keeps an appeal in relation with the beaches of Marseille activities.

BOAT STATION MARSEILLE

This project is the result of a collaborative team (8 personns) during a workshop for school.

The program asked to rethink this part of Marseille on the coast by imagining a network of boats to replace traffic very present in this part of city. We used architecture’s style of the port made with metal beam and sheet in order to design a giant shed. Several activities would coexist (neighborhoods and trade). « le port de la pointe rouge » is a pleasure port requiring a redevelopment in boat’s storage.

Our project had provided additional space for future storage of goods and ships.
