Il Progetto della “Casa in Legno M01” nasce compositivamente dall’ intersezione di un corpo rosso dalla matrice quadrata ed un altro corpo in legno naturale posto di taglio in diagonale, sviluppando su due livelli un linguaggio altamente contemporaneo ed articolato sia nei volumi che negli spazi interni |esterni e soprattutto molto interessante nella promenade architettonica interna.

Render_2

Tipologicamente nel piano inferiore sono posizionati il Living | Open Space con un piccolo bagno mentre il piano superiore, al quale si accede con una comoda scala, ospita la zona notte, anch’ essa servita da un piccolo bagno.

Render_3

Una teoria di vestiboli e terrazzi scava il volume della casa in legno sfumando ed arricchendo il rapporto interno | esterno e definendo i rapporti di luce ed ombra nei prospetti esterni. Decorativamente il legno naturale ed il legno dipinto in rosso e blu contraddistinguono la pelle e l’ aspetto esteriore della casa, mentre la copertura dei volumi è definita dalla lamiera grecata completata lungo i bordi dei volumi con una scossalina in acciaio inox satinato.

Render_4

La superficie complessiva dell’ abitazione e di circa 200mq.

Render_5

Il Progetto è dedicato ad un mio caro Amico, Mimmo, compagno di tante avventure calcistiche, testimone esemplare di una Vita spesa qui a Napoli per il prossimo ed il prossimo più prossimo in nome dell’ Amore Cristiano.

Una antigua vivienda convertida en “txoko”, abandonando su función primera para acoger durante años cenas, comidas e interminables sobremesas de amigos, transformada en una distribución propia de su uso y acondicionada como tal. Para aquel que desconozca el significado del término “txoko”, éste es una especie de sociedad gastronómica gestionada por un grupo de amigos con el fin de llevar a cabo reuniones fraternales en torno a una mesa bien surtida de comida y bebida. Tras varias décadas ejerciendo una actividad para la que no había nacido, la propiedad del inmueble decide devolverle su sentido, volver a convertirlo en vivienda y así precisamente se concibe la actuación, como una vuelta a los inicios, eliminando estos “revestimientos” que habían ocultado su vocación real y desvistiéndolo hasta recuperar su estado original. Una vez se arrancan esas vestiduras y los muros quedan expuestos se lleva a efecto la división de espacios de la vivienda, fuertemente marcada por su bipolaridad en planta, un espacio rectangular enfocado a una fachada soleada y con unas vistas privilegiadas y otro espacio de similares características aunque más irregular abierto a dos patios interiores y unido con el primero por un pasillo escaso en el que además, queda ubicada la entrada. En ese primer espacio “noble” de la vivienda se encajan el dormitorio principal y, directamente relacionado, el conjunto de usos diurnos: cocina, comedor y estar de tal manera que todo este espacio resulte lo más amplio y abierto posible para reforzar el aprovechamiento de esa buena orientación y tratar de aumentar así la escala de una superficie que se antoja escasa para la bondad de sus cualidades. En el otro “gran” espacio se colocan los otros dos dormitorios y el segundo baño, adecuándose al tamaño y complicación formal de su planta. Un proyecto que busca recuperar lo que ya existía, que pretende devolverle su identidad a una vivienda que durante años no ejerció como tal y que ahora vuelve a mostrar su verdadera función tras despojarse de aquellos elementos que la mantenían irreconocible.

rainbow melody
Sugamo Shinkin Bank is a credit union that strives to provide first-rate hospitality to its customers in accordance with its motto: “we take pleasure in serving happy customers”. Nakaaoki branch is the forth branch where Emmanuelle has been commissioned to handle the architectural and interior design. The common request for all branches is to create a bank where people wish to stay longer and naturally feel to come back again. Nakaaoki branch is located on the corner of major intersection, where there is a frequent movement of cars, busses, bicycles, and people. Taking this unique location as a characteristic, the façade is designed to be rhythmical that changes expression as people see from different angles.

Colors appear in and out from the rhythmical repetition of cubes, dancing like musical notes playing rainbow melody. The façade is composed of cubes of four different depths. Colors are applied on the front or side of these cubes, so that the colors appear, disappear or overlap as the direction of view changes. Small elevated gardens are built inside 12 cubes, where the seasonal changes in nature are expressed by seasonal flowers like marigold, lavender, and growing trees such as olive tree. Gardens can be seen from the open space on the first floor, and from the financing section and cafeteria on the second floor. Sunlight is filtered through the foliage of elevated gardens on the South facing façade, providing a harmonious and warm atmosphere inside the bank. The interior finishes are settled and muted compare to the rhythmical movement of the façade. The colors, flowers and trees appear in and out from the repetition of floating cubes, playing rainbow melody. The melody spreads happiness and comfort to visitors and to the people in the local community.

The site characteristics and Emmanuelle’s interpretation have fused together to produce Nakaaoki branch. She wishes that the new bank will bring happiness and laughter to many people, just like the other four branches she has designed.

Located on the corner of major intersection, façade is viewed from various angles. As you walk pass the bank, different colors appear in and out, or overlap, creating a rhythmical movement that continuously changes the scene of the place.

12 small elevated gardens are scattered among the colors, adding seasonal quality to the façade. Visitors can enjoy the whole scenery from the outside, and from inside are the small gardens extending out from the room.

Rainbow melody, our mind settles naturally, as we listen to the rhythm of colors.

L’appartamento in oggetto è inserito nel “Palazzo Pozzobonelli”. Il palazzo deve il nome ad una delle famiglie più importanti nella storia locale. La costruzione sorse su probabile disegno del Bramante, che vi lavorò verso la fine del ‘400, ed è certo che questo artista diede il suo contributo anche per altre dimore della famiglia. L’alloggio ubicato in un’ala del palazzo era una antica stalla. L’intervento l’ha convertita a residenza. Sono stati realizzati nuovi solai in legno e vespai aerati al piano terra. La superficie vivibile era di 50 mq circa. L’intervento ha ampliato la superficie calpestabile grazie ai due soppalchi in legno, uno dei quali suddivide il servizio igienico sottostante alla stanza matrimoniale. La camera si affaccia sull’open space composto da salone con camino e sala da pranzo con cucina affacciati sul giardino di ingresso. I materiali utilizzati sono quelli del luogo di origine, dal cotto al cemento, il legno delle travi, il ferro delle strutture e dei serramenti fino al bianco candido dell’intonaco. Per le finiture dei pavimenti abbiamo utilizzato la resina, colore caffè per il piano terra e il bianco per il servizio igienico al seminterrato. I due soppalchi sono realizzati con travi e tavolati di legno di rovere. I piani del camino e i lavabi sono realizzati in cemento. Il disegno dei serramenti esterni ricalca quello degli altri prospetti in ferro vetro.

The building takes advantage of the surroundings enhancing, with its presence, the landscape and at the same time blending in with it becoming part of the whole system. The natural slope towards the seaside declares the yard’s natural role as a watchtower. The building is composed of simple and pure geometrical elements forming a “bridge” structure where all blocks are stacked up following functional rules and creating an irregular external look where overhangs contribute to create shades breaking light and protecting the interior from weather distress. Every part of the building can work independently and every function have a dedicated access in order not to mix different user paths. Each block is characterized by the use of a dedicated material, which expresses the different needs of each part of the building. The ground floor uses concrete finishes recalling the harshness of the surroundings. The exterior concrete is interrupted by large glassed surfaces to give visibility to the commercial area. The office floor uses timber panels and blades in order to shade direct sun light to the meeting rooms. The apartment is made up of pure plastered blocks where the voids frame the views towards the sea and shining like a watchtower’s light in the night.

We were asked to build 2000 m2 of professors’ offices near the old faculty buildings but in no specific site. Our first decision, was, instead of adding another small piece to a 50 hectare campus, to get dissolved into the preexisting buildings, in between them, just like them, according to the following equation: 2+1 =1.

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

  But that connection brought some problems: 
1. The new proximity might make evident: misalignments, changes of level, slight different directions that distance used to hide. So, we thought of having, at least in one point, a space complex enough, to hide all those eventual mistakes.

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

  2. The new building interrupted a natural shortcut there was through the void between the existing structures; a shortcut is a force that you better agree with. So, the access zone had to resolve a circulation knot that had vertical access to upper floors, entrance to the library, internal corridor, and free passage for the shortcut. The complex space described in point 1, was achieved introducing diagonals: the simplest way to have 3 directions in the plan, which helped to resolve topologically the knot.

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

  The required program consisted mainly in lots of little cells. Those cells offered good conditions for one of the dimensions of human work: the isolated, concentrated study. We always thought that we had to build the other dimension of knowledge production: the casual encounter in the hallways. So, this building is the magnification of the corridor conversation.   

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

For the north façade of this new 150 meter long building (my own project was just 40 m long) we continued the covered portico using its depth to protect people and building from the sun and from the rain. In the south façade we worked with a depthless skin to resist better the moisture, but mainly to go along with the fact that to do it otherwise is a wasted effort. In our hemisphere south facades never receive sun, so beings always backlit, they flattened irremediably into a dark mass. But glasses, when backlit, become mirrors. If to that, we add the fact that in Santiago, pollution will make the copper stain black, the dark mass will increase in time, highlighting the reflection of the life passing in front of the building.   

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

Finally, given that in Chile, the building industry is very often a tool against unemployment (those who don’t know to do any other job, build), to pretend a straight line more that 5 meters long is suicide. Discontinuity and mistakes were used to temper with some vitality, structures that due to seismic conditions, tend naturally to monotony.

PASTORAL MEMORIES, revisited
The opposition between cities and countryside in Flanders has increasingly become a mental rather than a physical one. A long- standing anti-urban policy has led to a thorough contamination – i.e. urbanization – of the Flemish countryside. Multiple networks connect locations irrespective of their urban or rural status, enabling ever more frequent movements, eroding physical boundaries, merging it all into a semi-urban pattern we call the Nebular City. Inside this Nebular City, rurality has become less a fact than a choice, less a self-evident tradition than a mental construction. It is the architect’s task to design this mental construction.

Chaotic Flanders offers many opportunities to make this choice. The landscape’s compromised rurality rebounds in some of its compartments. The building site for our villa Braeckman-Staels is an example of this. The embedded orchard with a view of a windmill presents a striking condensed image of rurality that one would seek in vain on the street side. This could be many places, but it happens to be Sint-Martens-Latem, a village renowned as a pied-à-terre for the Flemish expressionist painters of rural life. Restrictive building regulations, nourished by former-day artistic icons uphold a self-image that is increasingly grotesque. Opposing this restrictive identity, we drew upon the unsettled transformative power of personal recollections shared by clients and architects.

Memories of American country houses “where the living was easy” triggered the design. This resulted in a house that doesn’t emphasize its frontality and seems both compact and composite. The spiralling plan slowly ascends from the slightly sunken entrance level and offers both self-contained rooms and composite spatial views. The shifting rooftops mark both the exterior and the interior; in a few rooms, such as the porch and the bathroom, the rooftop appears to be central to the room.

The house is built in brick and concrete, for better thermic performance, and cladded with lightweight timber that fits the long spans in the facades. Untreated copper for the roofs and pipes, cooked paint for the timber cladding and untreated hardwood windows, some sliding in front of the timber, are meant to slowly blend by weathering. Geometric eccentricities gradually blur into a vaguely pastoral idyl.

Ten years later, the idyl has grown into a full-bodied and well differentiated garden. A garden cottage has been added, downscaling, as an addition to a farmyard would, the design choices of the master house to a more subordinate building type. For the roof, corrugated steel was chosen over copper, also due to increased environmental awareness. The concrete cellar is topped with a wooden frame construction. The rooms of the cottage – a toolshed, a chicken nursery, a cellar for playing electronically amplified music and a hobby room – have separate entrances and no internal links. The tool shed doors open widely onto a generous outdoor workspace, sheltered by the protruding roof. Ladders connect both the cellar and the hobby room with tiny attics, each containing a sleeping alcove. All this makes the cottage compact and elementary and leaves the villa’s comfort unrivaled. A rain barrel and a woodstove provide it with autonomy.

The American Academy in Berlin, founded in 1994 by Richard C. Holbrooke, Henry A. Kissinger, and Richard von Weizsäcker, is a vital and growing center for residential fellowships for American scholars, writers, policymakers, and artists, among them alumni Arthur Miller, Jonathan Franzen, Jenny Holzer, Jeffrey Eugenides, Hal Foster, and Jonathan Safran Foer. The Academy is housed in the Hans Arnhold Center, a picturesque 19th-century villa on a large parcel of land directly on the Wannsee.

Photo: © Stefan Müller. Published on January 29, 2015.

The success of the Academy’s program has led to a dearth of available space, so plans for a garden pavilion were initiated to provide more study space for resident fellows. A disused bathhouse, located on the left side of the Academy’s expansive yard and nestled along an old masonry wall, provided the ideal site. An existing sculpture by Georg Kolbe, „Verkündigung“ (1937), gestures to this new pavilion, recalling Kolbe‘s „Der Morgen“ (1925) at Mies van der Rohe‘s Barcelona Pavilion.

Reminiscent of earlier practice prototypes—such as the “Loom Hyperbolic” installation at the 2012 Marrakesh Biennale—as well as the history of 20th century pavilions, Barkow Leibinger conceived a lightweight glass and steel structure. Central to the enclosed space of seven study carrels and a small kitchen is a roof of steel beams that forms a double-curved surface, which appears to float over the lower spaces. The form of the pavilion’s roof is a result of “ruled geometry”: offset straight lines rotated to produce four hyperbolic paraboloids, a shape that is both abstract and familiar, since it reflects, if only in elevation, the gabled roof of the historical villa. The distinctness of the pavilion is further enhanced by both its seeming to “float” above the garden’s green lawn, and its dominant white color. LED lighting, located at the top of the carrel walls, further emphasizes this effect at night by illuminating the ceiling, which appears then to float above the structure itself.

Photo: © Stefan Müller. Published on January 29, 2015.

The roof is supported at the corners by four I-beam columns, which also serve as rainwater drains. An oak-plank-clad steel platform sits slightly above the ground and is the primary surface for both exterior and interior spaces. A glass façade of sliding doors and glazing sits back from the building’s perimeter, which creates a continuous porch area around the entire structure and allows for increased transparency into and from the pavilion. Inside, the 7m2 study spaces are divided by ceiling-high walls, constructed of glass, oak, and steel. The individual spaces open to an internal corridor via glass doors, and into the garden area via large glass sliding-doors, which may be shuttered by curtains for privacy. Each office is outfitted with built-in metal shelves, drawers, and a desk, complemented by freestanding furniture from Vitra. The three-layer glazing, floor and wall heating, and well-insulated floors and roof contribute to the energy efficient structure.

“A pavilion is neither a building nor exclusively an experiment. It hovers between the speculative and the pragmatic. For us, it is a provocative vehicle (prototype or sample) for testing the limits and capacities of speculative work. It gives direction to work that might remain latent but incomplete. A pavilion, here acts as a gauge or filter to both legitimize and understand the value of our research.” Barkow Leibinger “The Pavilion. Pleasure and Polemics in Architecture”, Hatje Cantz, 2009

We were asked to build all types of classrooms (from auditoriums to small seminar cells, from anatomy labs to computer lounges) and a new library for the Medical School, in an extremely dense context.

Photo: © Roland Halbe. Published on January 29, 2015.

This context placed us in front of 2 problems:
1. The building had to complete the missing fourth side of a courtyard where all 3 preexisting ones were different from each other. So, how to choose an architectural language for this fourth side?
2. The lack of space forced us to go high. So, how to deal with massive student occupancy far away from the ground floor, knowing that there’s enough evidence showing that such a thing does not work?

Photo: © Roland Halbe. Published on January 29, 2015.

We tried to solve both issues in one single move: Instead of trying to avoid the height of the volume, we developed an architectural language for the façade of the fourth side of the courtyard that could be seen as a multiplication of the ground floor. This building is a kind of Vertical Cloister. We carefully studied the way and the conditions under which people gathered in the other cloisters and porticoes, and developed a structure that could be seen as machine of elementary situations in height.

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

We developed a system of stacks which are sometimes introverted to accommodate more intimate situations (read, flirt, eat alone), sometimes extroverted to host the more public activities (chat, discuss, rest).

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

But the dense context had other consequences on the project: there were too many rooms that had to connect smoothly with the pre-existing network of circulations. It was like packing an excessive number pieces of clothes in a relatively small suitcase. So we started by being as regular as possible while organizing the program. The difficult part were the auditoriums (5), which were packed as if they were shoes: alternating their slopes in a kind of tower, leaving the “soles” always towards the outside. Despite our efforts, one piece had to remain outside the suitcase: we chose the student’s lounge, (maybe the most precious part of academic life) which also performs as a hanging shelter when entering from the south.

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

Unfortunately there was no space for double or triple heights that could give some sense of the scale of building from the inside; so the only way we found to show from inside the internal relations, was through some “void shots” that cross the building in different directions.

Photo: Tadeuz Jalocha. Published on January 29, 2015.

For the library there was no other choice than going underground. The problem, of course, was to bring light down. Louis Kahn describes the program of a library as the act of taking a book from a shelve and bringing it to the light to read it. In this case, we introduced some voids in the structure as if they were light boxes you approach with a book in your hands, sit down and read it. At the bottom of the library, 10 meters below ground, we magnified that idea by doing a huge table with a tree, maybe the ultimate sign that light is arriving.

Il progetto si pone come naturale proseguimento delle adiacenti 10 case a patio realizzate all’interno della stessa “Isola” alcuni anni prima e riguarda la realizzazione di due case unifamiliari. Le due unità caratterizzate da un volume superiore compatto e regolare ad un’unica falda e un attacco a terra più articolato generato da alcuni volumi minori disposti in modo tale da chiudere e definire gli spazi esterni privati (patii) e far percepire la particolare condizione di affaccio verso la campagna a sud. Il muro del basamento rivolto a nord è caratterizzato dall’uso del mattone faccia a vista. I fronti nord e sud, sono fortemente differenziati: il primo più chiuso e disegnato solo dalle logge di accesso e dalle piccole finestre al piano superiore, l’altro più aperto e caratterizzato da ampie vetrate, logge e patii che si rivolgono verso gli spazi esterni privati. Il progetto è determinato inoltre dalla ricerca di un corretto orientamento delle abitazioni che consenta di ottenere un’illuminazione naturale degli ambienti, favorisca un ricambio d’aria naturale e permetta una maggiore protezione dei venti freddi prevalenti da nord e da est .

Il concorso di idee Cool Construction mira a presentare proposte per un design innovativo di recinzione della stazione metropolitana di Frederiksberg, nel territorio comunale di Copenaghen, dove il City Ring formerà un incrocio con la linea esistente. La recinzione sarà posizionata nel bel mezzo di uno dei più importanti centri nevralgici di Frederiksberg. Il Café Metropolitain sarà anche uno cafè prossimi a tale recinzione. Così uno degli obiettivi è quello di creare uno spazio piacevole anche per colore che dal cafè, sorseggiando una bevanda, guardano e contemplano la città e per coloro in attesa del prossimo tram.

dal processo al progetto

Il faut bien que je supporte deux ou trois chenilles si je veux connaître les papillons. Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupère La città si trasforma continuamente nel tempo attraverso degli interventi puntuali di cambiamento urbano, che non è altro che un attraversamento da una condizione ad un’altra. I cantieri hanno un carattere complesso: possono essere una vista poco gradevole all’interno della città e possono causare disagio, ma il completamento dei lavori dovrebbe portare alla creazione di luoghi e spazi esteticamente e funzionalmente validi ed interessanti. Proprio il tema di tale attesa è stato sviluppato attraverso l’affascinante storia del bruco che si trasforma in farfalla: le bandiere di plastica riciclata, infatti, stampate sui due fronti, compongono le immagini di un bruco, da un lato, e di una farfalla, dall’altro, che il vento o le mani dei bimbi e adulti più curiosi si divertiranno a comporre , facendo girare i tasselli in modo casuale.

La parete è costituita da un sistema di ‘bandierine’ incernierate al centro e fissate una sull’altra su due tondini di ferro da cantiere. Si muovono a 360° grazie al vento e ripropongono l’idea del continuo movimento della vita , della gente e dei treni di una metropolitana: cosa che accade in questo caso col dinamismo che caratterizza una fermata della metropolitana che a breve si completerà. Inoltre il loro movimento evoca il suono dei cartelloni ferroviari presenti in ogni stazione. La fascia inferiore di tutti i panelli figurativi è fissa fino ad un’altezza di 90 cm per ragioni di sicurezza. Nelle zone intermedie a questi 4 sistemi dinamici e colorati si creano tre zone con sedute e piccole pensiline dove ci si può sedere conversare o riparare in caso di pioggia!

L’intervento prevede il recupero e la riparazione della facciata principale, del tetto e delle facciate laterali della Chiesa compromessi dalla cattiva regimentazione delle acque, tutto al fine di preservare suoi valori storico-architettonici. Coerentemente con gli interventi già eseguiti nel 2007, il restauro si prefigge di garantire la funzionalità dell’edificio e di preservare il suo stato di conservazione, in quanto presenza di valore storico-culturale per la città di Caserta. Gli interventi riguarderanno principalmente la verifica della facciata e il completamento delle opere di regimentazione delle acque meteoriche, di risanamento dall’umidità delle pareti e di tinteggiatura della facciata. Altri interventi riguarderanno opere di sistemazione della copertura della chiesa e il risanamento delle pareti, la regimentazione delle acque meteoriche, il ripristino degli intonaci ammalorati e la tinteggiata con latte di calce delle pareti.

Riconversione virtuosa di un ex manufatto industriale in scenografica residenza di 400 mq articolata su due livelli. Il progetto propone come chiave di lettura del restyling l’intento di addomesticare le altezze e volumi inusuali della costruzione vero tratto emergente di questo loft.

Loft Milano - zona pranzo a doppia altezza con camino a gas rivestito in travertino naturale

La luce esalta il gioco di alternanze tra pieni e vuoti in un sofisticato intreccio di volumi e funzioni che danno vita ai diversi ambienti della casa. Impattante la doppia altezza nella zona pranzo che assurge a “piazza” nevralgica delle relazioni sociali mentre la scala e la passerella di collegamento tra i reparti della zona notte diventano il “ponte” da cui l’osservatore può godersi l’intera abitazione.

Loft Milano - Zona pranzo a doppia altezza con camino a gas rivestito in pietra naturale e libreria su disegno su parete rivestita in travertino naturale.

Gli interni raccontano l’eleganza, il rigore e la semplicità della visione minimalista che neppure il colore osa interrompere con una minima stravaganza.

Structurant la ZAC TEMIS dont il devient un bâtiment repère, TEMIS Sciences incarne l’ambition d’innovation portée par les laboratoires de pointe qu’il accueille. Son architecture singulière, qui affirme sa composition intérieure et revendique sa contextualité, dialogue avec le paysage, à plusieurs échelles. Associant bureaux et laboratoires de hautes technologies, TEMIS Sciences accueille le plus grand laboratoire de recherche publique de Franche-Comté, l’institut Femto-St.

Avec sa volumétrie duelle, conçu pour une perception à plusieurs échelles, TEMIS Sciences se compose de deux volumes distincts, superposés : • Le premier est le socle de l’édifice, et rassemble l’accueil, l’administration et les laboratoires. Carré parfait, il se compose de deux niveaux ouvrant de plain-pied sur l’extérieur, mettant à profit les déclivités entre partie avant et partie arrière du site. Constitué d’une structure béton, de façades en béton préfabriquées, largement vitrées, il est surmonté d’un bandeau habillé d’un appareillage de pierres maçonnées de teintes jaunes et bleues, qui fait écho à la pierre remarquable de Besançon. • Le second volume repose sur cette première base carrée : accueillant les espaces tertiaires, il s’ouvre sur un jardin suspendu, le toit du socle, accessible et bordé par un chemin de ronde en périphérie du carré. Constitué d’une structure béton, sauf pour l’étage d’attique à la structure bois, il est revêtu d’un bardage de pin Douglas issu de filières locales dont la couleur, changeante, va griser avec le temps.

Avec sa rationalité intrinsèque qui définit une écriture singulière et identitaire, TEMIS Sciences affirme dans son architecture ses règles de conception interne, et la dualité qui le compose. Précédé par un vaste parvis et largement ouvert sur l’avenue, le socle abrite les laboratoires, qui fondent le bâtiment, et le pôle accueil/show-room/cafétéria, qui l’articule à la ville. A l’arrière, son parking, couvert et ouvert, suit la pente naturelle du sol et assure une transition douce entre extérieur et intérieur. La distribution simple des plans et la réduction des appuis porteurs permettent une facilité d’organisation et d’évolution. Pensé comme un plateau modulable, le rez-de-chaussée est irrigué par une « diagonale distributive » et s’éclaire au moyen d’un réseau de patios en bande s’ouvrant sur le paysage. Les façades sont porteuses et permettent un plan libre : on n’observe aucun poteau, l’évolutivité est totale.

Alors que les différentes fonctions «publiques» de médiatisation et communication prennent place au-devant de l’espace public, l’accueil en retrait permet le contrôle d’accès nécessaire et précède, au centre du carré, la distribution verticale, conçue comme un espace de vie : par ses mezzanines, elle met en relation toutes les entités majeures de l’institution, laboratoires en bas et bureaux dans les étages. L’escalier suspendu compose une promenade architecturale, largement éclairée et ouverte sur extérieur, favorisant la rencontre et la convivialité entre usagers.

Au-dessus du socle, les bureaux composent un bâtiment indépendant, de trois niveaux, auxquels s’ajoute un dernier étage d’attique en structure bois. Il accueille une terrasse plein sud qui s’ouvre sur le panorama de Besançon. Avec ses façades principales orientées au Nord et au Sud, ce bâtiment bénéficie d’une orientation optimale qui lui permet d’atteindre de hautes performances énergétiques (BBC et HQE).

Accueillant des espaces de travail et d’interactions scientifiques, TEMIS Sciences est un espace ouvert, pouvant accueillir des partenaires dans le cadre de projets de recherche collaboratifs. Il propose une complémentarité harmonieuse entre espaces de travail et d’exposition. Son parvis, sa colonnade brute, accrochant la lumière, et son accès de plain-pied, en continuité de l’avenue, compose une entrée simple et naturelle, une invite qui affirme le statut ouvert de l’institution. A l’angle, la cafétéria déborde sur un balcon filant et s’expose sur l’espace public,formant un appel vers l’extérieur.

A l’intérieur, TEMIS Sciences déploie ses espaces généreux, libres, lumineux, aux ambiances sobres et raffinées. Avec un registre de matériaux nobles et une simplicité de mise en œuvre, l’accent est mis sur la véracité, avec des bois naturels, et des tons clairs qui renforcent la clarté et la domesticité des ambiances. Clin d’œil ludique, un jeu de miroirs habille l’unique appui restant dans ce plan libre, en une ellipse intérieure qui fait écho, à celle, extérieure, qui reflète le ciel. Dans les espaces de travail, le confort est domestique, et l’espace largement ouvert vers l’extérieur, grâce aux vues cadrées sur le paysage et aux terrasses, appropriables, en rez-de-chaussée ou en attique. Le bâtiment Temis Sciences se veut emblématique et exemplaire en matière d’efficacitéénergétique. Evolutivité, flexibilité et optimisation de la gestion énergétique sont au cœur du projet. Le bâtiment tertiaire, revêtu de bois, a reçu le label Basse Consommation (BBC) et est certifiéHQE.

The new student residence is a building serving the Educational Center of Malles. For this reason, its relationship with the existent school, positioned to the to North East and on a higher level, affects it fundamentally.The proposal adapts itself to the oreography of the terrain, which slopes down towards the East, assuming this as a strategic element. A concrete skeleton configures the structural order and generates the architectural language, working as a rigid pentagram in which the functions of the residence are held, hosted in wood panelled modules: a rule able to organise the whole architecture, from the level scheme to the façades. The private and public accomodation modules are laid out with the best exposure. The modules are set back with respect to the slabs, generating public spaces and private terraces for the rooms. The large windows allow the interior rooms to enjoy completely the amazing landscape of the setting.
