This layout makes it possible to walk between the bedroom and the living room through the outdoor space.
The second building, placed on the side road, has a more intimate facade with big angled windows which geometry offers views to the Seine River and to an historic hill on the south side of the site. Continue reading Lambert Lénack

For this care home and day centre for disabled adults, founded by the Société Philanthropique, we imagined a south-facing, stepped volume which allows light into the inner courtyard while creating a series of outdoor spaces along the gradient of the facade. These spaces have been drawn as “open-air rooms”: terraces enclosed by facades so that residents can enjoy outdoor spaces without the risk of falling. The internal spaces open generously out towards the city through the use of large domestic windows for bedrooms and large urban windows for common areas. Continue reading Lambert Lénack
