ARCHITECTURAL CONTINUITY BETWEEN NATURE, CITY AND COLLECTIVE MEMORY


Blending natural context and industrial heritage, this urban project is shaped by a triangular footprint that optimizes spatial efficiency and urban integration. It introduces a porous ground floor passage and cascading garden that connect the street to surrounding green spaces. The volumetric design balances solids and voids, aligning with the broader urban landscape while enhancing light and openness. Flexible workspaces are organized around strategic cores and chamfered edges, encouraging diverse interactions. Facades combine local limestone with copper-toned aluminum, offering depth and variation through subtle details. The architecture evokes both classic and contemporary tones, rooted in Lyon’s urban tradition. With clarity and precision, the design promotes continuity, adaptability, and quiet presence within the city fabric.
