LA CIOTAT

CONTRACTING AUTHORITY: SUD GESTION IMMOBILIER

MISSION:  MISSION COMPLETE 

BE PARTNERS: MARCIANO

PHASE:  DELIVERED 2010

We had a complex equation to solve. A plot on the outskirts of an old town centre and contemporary buildings on a very different scale, as well as existing and particularly interesting gardens.

We devised two perfectly integrated buildings presenting all the wealth and diversity of their immediate neighbours.

In relation to the neighbouring housing, the development’s scale was managed by tiering the roofs and volumes to soften and smooth the transition between the new programme and the existing homes. The uppermost sections were recessed and sequenced to create a softer impact for pedestrians and to offer views of the sky typical of the narrow streets in the old town centre.

The development’s perspective from rue Saint Jacques created a visual break, showcasing the communal gardens in the centre of the project.
