Land Art Workshop

In order to connect together the two parts of the programm, a nursery school and a gymnasium, while integrating the building in its surroundings, I structured it as three simple interlocked shapes. This allows a play on different levels of proxim-ity and physical and visual relation between the gymnasium, the school and the street. Each part benefits from as much space as needed and the volumes are adapted to the site : a cantilever toward the city center in order to characterize a new square and highlight the public building ; a lower volume toward the parc and the river to save the landscape qualities.

School + Gymnasium

With Lise Martel

Urban Hollow

In this exercice, we had to create three apartments and a com-mercial space in an empty space left in a very het-erogeneous context, with ancient and recent, mas-sive and small buildings. In order to softly affirm the identity of our building, we worked with a system of boxes, one for each part of the programm, united under a translucent enve-lope with a house shape.

Living Boxes

During a three days workshop, we worked prospectively on the capicity of a housing to evolute with its occupants, thanks to future electricity technologies. We imagined a system of mobile boxes and furniture, connected thanks to induction to one of the 16 electrical spots, which allows them to be placed freely in the global volume (10 x 10 meters) of the house.

This project was about designing an apartment hotel where the clients, coming in Strasbourg for business, would feel more independant than in classic ressorts. My proposition is based on a separation between public spaces, in a large and free ground floor, and private rooms, thanks to a perforated slab that allows trees on the patios to extend their branches over the common terrace.

Bourgfelden is a small town next to the french border with Basel. To answer the real estate demand while limiting the urban spread, we decided to gather this new neighborhood into a dense area towards the renewing town center. Different building typol-ogies create a large variety of public, semi-private and private spaces while the neigborhood is surprisingly dense. In between a large park and the village-like city, this mosaic of green allows nature to get into the center, thus connecting Bourgfelden to its rural surroundings.

Saint-Thomas Square

The Saint-Thomas Square is situated in the touristic part of Stras-bourg, the Petite France.Yet it is deserted by the residents of the neighbour-hood and the tourists who only cross it without en-joying the space and the frontages. With this project we wanted to offer a large range of uses and atmospheres, from calm static spaces to a dynamic central space, free for appropriation.

Internship

During a three month internship at WHITE Arkitekter Copenhagen, I had the opportunity to work on different projects. Mainly, I participated in a competition for a psychiat-ric hospital, making con-text and sketching models and exploring in volumes different possibilities. I also helped with the design of a pavilion that would be used as a medium for a student competition.

Competition

Floating House

The Beneteau competition called for the floating house of tomorrow. Nowadays people are more and more mobile, but yet we are attached to our home, and a move costs. Our response is a highly flexible and customisable house that its occupant can adapt accord-ing to their needs, desires and money, during all their life by simply adding a module, and that will follow them anywhere water is.

Worshops

Land-Art

During a three-day work-shop in the Brumath forest,we had the opportunity torealize a work of land art.In a place where only bigred pine trees grow, a brokentree in the middle of a gap creates a single diagonal, that we highlighted bypainting the trunk.. Then wecompleted the line, partiallyhidden from the track by afew trees, making an ana-morphosis in the forest.

Fabricasens

The “Fabricasens” is a recycling workshop around the theme of enhancing the senses. With only two materials, plastic bottles and string, in one place, the train station square, we built structures that alter the perception. We created a wall of half-bot-tles, on a bus stop, playing with their shapes, colors and reliefs in order to dis-tort the view through the glass and to invite people to touch it.

Models

At the INSA Strasbourg, every year begins with the “charrettes”. During one month, students from every year work together as small agencies to help the students who are graduating to finish their project, make their models and documents. Here are the models I made for the graduating students I helped, in first and second year.
