MONDOVI LUXURY HOTEL

A stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower, a Haussmann building is quietly undergoing a transformation. Behind its preserved façades, Mondovi Luxury Suites is taking shape — a prestigious residence designed for medium and long-term stays, where luxury hospitality meets the private apartment. BIRDFOOD AND CO An architectural vision by SOAP Architects & Andon Studio Through a close and unprecedented collaboration, SOAP Architects and Andon Studio have combined their expertise to create quintessentially French apartments: minimalist yet resolutely chic, warm without ever being ostentatious. Two years of work were required to bring this exceptional project to life. The aesthetic approach is deeply rooted in the neighbourhoo... More

SPONTINI

The building is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, on an atypical plot created by the early 20th-century opening of Rue Thiers, where a small corner garden once stood. The building comprises 5 residential units totalling 500 m² and two office spaces totalling 1,000 m², for a combined floor area of 1,500 m². The design favors sobriety and dialogue with the existing post-Haussmannian fabric. Rather than maximizing the buildable envelope allowed by planning rules, the project deliberately steps back to preserve the visual legibility of the neighboring 19th-century building's gable wall. The facades curve and fold to follow the urban perspectives typical of a corner plot, while echoing the horizontal rhythms of adjacent... More

Picardie

This building is emblematic of 17th-century shop houses, standing 48 feet (approximately 15 m) tall. It bears witness to the successive transformations of the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the replacement of tile roofs with zinc and the disappearance of the original masonry spandrels. D.Rocco D.Rocco Located in the protected area of the Marais, the building is remarkable for its interior layout, including a staircase, floors, and a 17th-century roof structure. In this context, the successive transformations of the building have been preserved and the facades restored to a fresh plaster tone. The gable has been insulated from the outside (ITE) with a lime-cork coating compatible with the old building. D.Rocco More

Bon Bouquet Cafe

The interior design studio Between the Walls is actively expanding, crossing new borders, and presenting its second project in Paris — Bon Bouquet Cafe. The establishment belongs to the renowned French company The Hungry Family. This is one of the group's key projects, marking a significant milestone in their restaurant business. Ivan Avdieienko Ivan Avdieienko Bon Bouquet's design challenges traditional Parisian aesthetics. Gone are the expected wicker furniture and classic lamps; instead, the cafe features sleek modern elements that make a statement. From the outside, Bon Bouquet appears relatively calm: a milky facade with understated name and logo signage, and a roll-up glass window system. However, once inside, patrons... More

Wooden housing in the centre of Paris

The site is located at the intersection of three characteristic Parisian urban situations not far from the Canal Saint-Martin: Rue Robert Blache, punctuated by small white rendered faubourien buildings with discreet modenature, Rue du Terrage, largely occupied by a large HBM type complex with neat brick facades and the operation around Place Raoul Follereau, an imposing housing complex, built in the early 1980s and marked by a reinterpretation of classical language, which can be described as postmodern. © Cyrille Lallement A CONTEXTUAL PROJECT : The building is located at the corner of rue Robert Blache and rue du Terrage.The agency wished to reinterpret the codes of faubourienne architecture present in the rue Robert Blache: a...

Restructuration de l'immeuble des Gobelins

This building from the early 20th century is a structuring element of the Gobelins district and is distingued by its height, its concrete structure and its classic brick façade. As building has undergone multiple technical additions, its heritage and architectural quality has faded. If the exterior envelope that rises on Boulevard Port Royal remains unchanged, it is in the heart of the plot that the project is carried out.In order to give back all the nobility to the preserved volumes of the two monumental staircases, the existing elevators are removed. PALISSAD PALISSAD SERGIO GRAZIA The presence of a telephone exchange still in operation on the second floor and in the basement excludes any possibility of new crossin... More

Trilogis by Karawitz

EULOGY TO MODERNITY IN WOOD AND STRAW Located on the edge of the Forêt de Fontainebleau, the “Maison Trilogis” is more than just a single-family home complex: It can be described as an architectural manifesto, combining innovation, sustainability and harmony with the unique forest landscape. Emerging as the winning project from an international competition, this building complex of two prefabricated houses in timber-straw construction combines constructive innovation with the demanding passive house standard. Schnepp*Renou Schnepp*Renou The linear volume of the main building, which floats on steel piles and has floor-to-ceiling glazing, is integrated into the coordinate system formed by the verticals of the tr...

ROOF-TOP Paris

A family of two adults and three children living in a house in Paris approached the firm to design a vertical extension with a roof terrace for their home.    The existing residential property is a combination of an existing house, owned completely by our clients, and a small housing building connected to the house by a room per floor. It is the result of the previous owners having a two floor apartment in the building and then buying the house next door to connect both properties to create a bigger home.    This resulted in a situation where the house was organized as a linear sequence of rooms forming a circulation loop passing through the house without any corridor whatsoever, with a condition of no intimacy in th...

Grande-Motte

La Grande Motte has long and unfairly embodied the massive concreteization of the coastline and symbolized the clichés of popular tourism. However, the initial ambitions were quite different: the "Florida of tomorrow" represented the new eldorado of millions of vacationers for whom the holidays became a real institution and in a framework designed with 70% of green spaces, giving pride of place to fashion. gentle, to the slow pace of the sun's course.
