Located very close to the historical city center of Marmoutier, and surrounded by three other public facilities and forest, our project completes the educational pole of the city, providing a new nursery school and a recreational center for children aged from 3 months to 6 years. The building site, located in front of the Weissmauer (the ruins of the ancient city wall) and below a parking lot that separates the site from the city center, led us to imagine a project that could be seen from above and able to intrigue our little pupils with its unique shape. To do so, we decided to provide the building with a collection of colored skylights in order to create a new landscape on the roof of the equipment and to offer the city a finely crafted volume that echoes the roofs of the old town. Despite the articulated roofscape, we wanted the plan to be as rational and clean as possible.
