Collège Cardinal Mercier / LT2A + OPEN ARCHITECTES

Nina Vuga — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:57:30 +0000

Set within a densely wooded landscape, the new building at Collège Cardinal Mercier continues the legacy of a site with a strong character. The campus is composed of distinct pavilions whose shared identity relies on a deliberately limited palette of materials. This visual coherence creates a link between the different buildings while preserving their autonomy. Inspired by these qualities, the design aims to extend the spirit of the place without replicating it. Far from any pastiche, the building asserts a resolutely contemporary language, anchored in one of today's major challenges: sustainability.

Pont Youth Center / LT2A

Located in the heart of the Pont district in Marcq-en-Barœul, the new Youth Center is set within a dense fabric of terraced brick houses with narrow, colorful façades. This domestic landscape, composed of plots barely five meters wide, forms a subtle palette of orange and brown tones. Within this intimate context, the challenge was to establish a dialogue between a 600 m² public building and the delicate scale of the neighborhood.

Marcinelle II School / OPEN ARCHITECTES + LT2A

Andreas Luco — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 12:00:00 +0000

The quality of the site is due to its location in the heart of a planted island. The buildings of the establishment are pavilions between which users can move freely. The poetry of this place is enhanced by beautiful trees that form axes or points of interest. However, the transition between the layout in the heart of the block and the street is currently poorly resolved. This project constitutes a solution that reconciles the opening to the heart of the school with the definition of a boundary on the street. The administrative building and the annexed premises are also an opportunity to offer a new image of the Athénée Royal Jules Destrée and to make the site safer.

School Cafeteria and Multipurpose Room / LT2A

The school restaurant site is located between two concrete buildings from the ’60s, facing a green area with trees that slopes down towards the street. The building is located at the highest point of the land. The restaurant room opens onto the garden while the technical areas and the kitchen are located against the rear service road.

School Extension La Fontaine / LT2A

Cristobal Rojas — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Inserted in a sensitive area occupied by long 1970s social housing blocks, the existing school distinguishes itself for its peripheral green fence, as if it is turning its back to the site. Our proposal is to start from the qualities of the existing, anchoring the new to its context in a clearer way.

10 New Classrooms - Marcinelle / LT2A + OPEN ARCHITECTES

Cristobal Rojas — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 09:00:00 +0000

The project consisted in the addition of ten new classrooms and services in an existing school composed of a dozen of pavilions. The new building was to be situated in an unbuilt orchard.
