Winner in March 2012 of the competition organized by the City of Nantes : a building shared by the Conservatory of Nantes and the Academy of performing arts of Bretagne-Pays de la Loire. Together with the new cultural practices that dance and music arouse, the design of this building follows their alterations and allows opening those practices towards a contemporary culture.

A piece of countryside
When Laurence and Nathalie acquired the plot, the project was already started: the foundation slab was poured and a planning permission was submitted. One more constraint was the difficult access to the site, located at the back of gardens in a residential area. The planning permission is clear: the new project has to stick to the size of the previous one, and to the choice of a wooden material to reduce fears of a building in the inner area of a building block. The site is a piece of countryside where two isolated buildings were already erected. The watchword: modesty and respect for this fragile environment. The Municipality of Uccle was favourable to the construction of an architecture project with contemporary forms.
