affirming an institution & enhancing comfort in the use of the space
CRS Marseille
project characteristics
Our architectural, technical, and environmental response is the result of multidimensional and cross-criteria considerations. This comprehensive design approach allowed us to address all the challenges at both the urban planning and building scales. Initially, this process led us to recognize the value of the “existing” by planning the complete rehabilitation of buildings A, B, C, F, and the preservation of the remarkable trees on the site.

Our approach is primarily a contextualized one, ensuring that the construction solutions, their materials, and implementation are tailored to each typology, the entire program, and the requirements dictated naturally by the site.
Our goals also aim to minimize the impact of building construction on the environment, reduce energy needs with particular attention to responses addressing summer comfort. In this same vein, the implementation of solar energy production is intended to cover a portion of energy needs through selfconsumption and contribute to decarbonization.
