The boarding house project is a continuation of Philippe Lamour high school: then its design takes into account the logical organization of the existing facilities and must ensure consistency and overall harmony. The area where the building fits, places the project as a figurehead of this big island, position both strategic and symbolic: the facilities plays a special role because it has to be the link between the exterior and the interior. Shared by several schools of Nîmes and physically attached to Philippe Lamour high school, its reception, conviviality and reference character must be emphasized. The precise location of the project reflects this link between public space and high school territory.

From the beginning it was part of our architectural concept to create a building that complies with the French green building standards HQE. It was also the investor’s wish. And we succeeded. Thanks to our design of the exostructure and the choice of materials, steel and concrete, we were able to reduce material consumption by 30 percent. This is in comparison to other towers the same size. And as you know, less material also means less carbon emissions.

One of the major advantages of this project, in spite of being in the old city center, is that it benefits from a highly privileged situation: it is part of an extraordinary greenery patch and sat on a location promoting a great exposure and view.

The building cuts an emblematic but reassuring profile in the wider landscape, as seen from the planes taking off at Orly airport, from the Nationale 6 road, and from the Paris-Limoges train line… It rises above the banks of the Yerres and the Seine, dominating an unlikely suburban landscape. Before the works, visitors approaching the building found themselves facing a rigid tower surrounded by a park, a building with great architectural unity, with a base and superstructure, anchored without subtlety into the flank of a hill, which had to be climbed by foot to reach the entrance.
