Le Potager Extraordinaire Center / Guinée et Potin Architects

Hadir Al Koshta — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The project aims to transform the Centre Beautour, Biodiversity Discovery Centre, a project opened in 2013, and develop it into an educational and tourist park scheduled to open in summer 2023: Le Potager Extraordinaire. The theme of this new leisure park is agricultural, domestic and vegetable biodiversity. By taking into account the sunlight requirements inherent to market gardening, the path takes advantage of the characteristics of the site and preserves the pre-existing balance as much as possible. The aim of the project is to immerse visitors in the collections of the Potager Extraordinaire and the richness of the host site.

Refurbishment of a Student Residence in Nantes / Guinée et Potin Architects

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The design of the extension to the university campus proposes an "articulation" following a simple, clear geometry, linking the various fragmented entities. This articulation clings to the existing buildings and connects the two existing and preserved buildings, stretching out from the entrance forecourt/hall. Its layout and geometry make it easy to structure the boundaries between the "urban" front and the "landscaped" rear. In keeping with this idea, it is the whole of the building that naturally shapes the exterior spaces.

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 09 Jan 2022 15:00:00 +0000

The old presbytery In Riec-sur-Belon is intended to accommodate the cultural and associative pole. The plot dedicated to the operation presents a unique situation: an existing heritage building (a former presbytery) surrounded by a stone wall and an old orchard. The cultural hall and the associative premises are part of a comprehensive approach aimed at strengthening links between the village, around the market, the church, and the town hall.

Valeria Silva — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 14:00:00 +0000

The challenges, both urban, architectural and landscaped, of block 5 of the Jaguère eco-neighborhood are major; it is a question of contributing to the writing of the identity of a new district of Rezé, rich in a geographical location and strategic landscape.

This 64 dwellings project, divided into two buildings, is implemented in the heart of the residence Pierre Loti, completing an urban renewal. The master plan places the project at a crossroads of varied building types and densities. As a consequence, the process aims for a volumetric transition, possible within the context, contributing to the future identity of the new Pierre Loti Street.

Football Playground / Guinée et Potin Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The Footcheball is commissioned by the Voyage à Nantes for its 2014’s edition to invent « Playgrounds » (Patricia Buck & Rafaël Magrou’s 2012 original idea). « Playgrounds » is an invitation to play sports of a new kind and have fun, but also a proposition to the inhabitants and travelers to look at the city in a new way, like a superposition of surprises and free spaces. Mixing squash, ‘baby-foot’, and indoor soccer, the Footcheball is a sport to be played in a defined space, the Chaum-Room. It is open to everyone, as long as the chport spirit is respected.

Museum & Biodiversity Research Center / Guinée et Potin Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Main idea of Beautour center is to glorify the historical Georges Durand’s mansion (a Vendean naturalist, 1886 - 1964) who got important collections. Man of rights, he quickly developped a passion for natural sciences. For 70 years, he collected plants and insects from all over Europe, with the help of his friends and fellow scientists. This is how he has been able to collect nearly 5.000 birds, 150.000 butterflies and insects, and numerous herbariums. Thus almost all 4.500 species of the french flora are hereby represented.

Quinper City Council / Guinée et Potin Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The city council house construction is located in Quimper, in an urban re-newing area called Kermoysan. On north the site faces on to carpark and residential housing from the sixties; on south to the main street and round about. On the western boundary stands a lot of oaks and sweet chestnut trees and a little footpath going toward individual houses. In this particular context, the project proposes a strong identity, re-telling a «story» and re-creating a place. The building is clad in a light wood skin with a geometric pattern, bringing back to an imaginary, and reminding the half-timbered houses from the historical city of Quimper. The existing natural environment combined with the new landscape frontside creates a green setting for the new city council house.

Nautic Center / Guinée et Potin Architects

Nico Saieh — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The “Piégu” nautical centre must come to insert in the context, without "maltreating it", but to changing these principles simply, to coherence with architectural and landscape matter of the site. From independent components, the project creates a place whose elements are articulated and woven together.
