Malevart Innovative Offices Transformation / h2o architectes

Hadir Al Koshta — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The former car dealership, located in the dense environment of the Villa du Clos-de-Malevart(Paris, 11th Arrondissement), formed an almost completely opaque volume, inward-facing and independent from its surroundings. Through simple, calculated interventions, this rehabilitation project reconnects it to its urban context. The architectural character of the building – its concrete framework with "Humy system" half-level offsets – has been partly preserved to requalify the generous and inventive volumes without ostentation. The overall approach focused on optimizing the use of light and existing surfaces to maximize workspaces.

The transformation of the former offices of the Ministry of the Armed Forces into social housing, a childcare center, a gymnasium, and a garden, makes the îlot Saint-Germain a successful example of urban renovation. 254 new social housing units have been created at the heart of the 7th arrondissement of Paris and allowed the transformation of an office building into newly high-quality housing units, providing the inhabitants with outdoor spaces and balconies.

La Cartoucherie / h2o architectes

The R buildings concerned by our rehabilitation project are located in the lower part of the site of the Cartoucherie at Bourg-les-Valence, listed as a Historic Monument. The first phase of the work led by the town and the architect Philippe Prost allowed for the rehabilitation of the principal building with its fine architectural qualities and of the courtyard, which were both in a ruinous state. This important building of our heritage was, in 2009, transformed into a place of creation with the opening of a new major center for quality film animation.

Nico Saieh — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The project takes place on the ground floor of a building of flats, behind a large window looking out onto the Clignancourt street. The office space to create has a single orientation; it is a well-lit, plainly treated volume with a simple geometry. The commission consisted in fitting-out an office space including five identical desks, a common meeting room and shared facilities.

The Cabin / h2o architectes

Jonathan Alarcón — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Our design team was invited to rethink a ski resort apartment in Menuires, France. Located at the far end of a building built in 1965, it has triple orientation that was not valued by the previous layout which was too segmented. The request was to realize the impossible : increase the living space without touching the structure, create 2bathrooms instead of the one existing, preserve the number of beds, 8 beds in 55m2, all while maintaining separate circultaions for each.   

The “Front and back” Apartment / h2o architectes

Nico Saieh — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0000

It was a singular brief from a young Parisian advertising executive also avid collector of comic strips. He wished to live in a fresh environment, both serene and sparkling despite the fact that his existing space was dilapidated, its geometry confusing, compartmentalized and contorted.
