This project emerges as a reflection on the history and values of Hermès with craft as a starting point and as the end point. Before drawing a line, I carried out with my atelier multiple "excavations": research on the history of this place, on the local resources, the particularities of this environment, of the ground of Normandy with its wet, clayey earth, ready to be modeled.

Aquatic Centre Louviers / DRD Architecture

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Between roads and the Eure River between railway tracks fallow and soft traffic, downtown and suburban area, historical monuments, and boxes of steel pan, there is a vast area, steeped in history and activities now abandoned in the making. Bordered of water; surrounded; content; Here the land that addresses the scale, that of the territory, even before the close dialogue with the local context. Our urban party relies on dynamic reading of the landscape and the environment. The highway, road, Eure River, the plant, the walk, the railway, install a succession of parallel structuring northern South site and provide a starting point for our design thinking.

Louviers Music School Rehabilitation and Extension / Opus 5 Architectes

Jonathan Alarcón — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The antique convent of the Penitents, in the city center of Louviers -Normandy, is a very exceptional example of "cloister on water", made of a complex assembly of successive constructions. The monastery was built between 1646 and 1659 for the Franciscan brethren. There used to be a church in the west and two conventual wings surrounding the central building. The cloister was sold in 1789 as a national fortune: the conventual parts were transformed into prisons and the church into a tribunal. In 1827, the church was demolished and the tribunal was transferred in anew part of the edifice. The prison closed in 1934 while the old south wing started falling down. The building, partially amputated, was reused as a music school in 1990. The remains of the cloister above the river ‘L’Epervier’ are formingan ‘Impressionist’ picture combining stone, vegetation and water in a beautiful harmony. This landscape value has been highlighted and interpreted in the rehabilitation project.

Reception Center and Social Reintegration, Residence Henri Durand / Hélène Fricout-Cassignol Architects

Javier Gaete — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Henri Durand residence, a centre for housing and community reintegration, was built for the Salvation Army by the housing association Eure Habitat in Louviers (27). The aim of this centre is to welcome, provide accommodation and offer aid, assistance and support to people of all ages and from all horizons. Considering the intimate nature of the residence, it was determined that part of the building should turn towards the heart of the site. Helping the residents in their personal reconstruction by offering a welcoming set up and allowing them to calmly accomplish everyday activities are encouraged by a simple, obvious and user-friendly lay-out.
