home townhousing & sports functions

finalist best of 2013

locationThe project home town suggest a new urban intervention

for the city of Ecublens. It consists on bringing a new center for the city generating two public squares by the construc-

tion of two pur prisms.

conceptThe project proposes two buildings including housing and

sport functions. Each building open itself on a square facing him. Big voids are dugg in the volume and offer an

acces to the building. Those voids also integrate the circu-lation of the different levels.

programsPrograms are divided in three levels. The groundfloor is

entirely public and propose a lot of acticivities. The upper levels are dedicated to student and family housing. Every

flat possess a balcony and a system of clostra keep the massive aspect of the building. urban setting up squares / volumes

locationThe building is between avenue Ruchonnet and William

Fraisse. Its shape looks like the Flatiron building. The roun-dess turns forwards the Lausanne station. Last few years,

the district develops itself due to the new art museum.

roof extentionIn order to bring a new density and to fi nish the building,

the proposition is to add a roof in which we live. This exten-sion draw it inspiration from neighbouring roofs so as to

become integrate into the street.

existing buildingIt was built at the begining of the 20th centery and used

to be an international hotel. The fl oor plan was very ratio-nal; a corridor distributing a lot of rooms. This building looks

like unfi nished confronted to the overall view of the street.

typologyEach student owns his private room to work and sleep.

Each group of roommate has a common kitchen that open itself on larg common living spaces. All students can access to the outdoor area by their room. Several public

programs didicated to the whole community are acces-sible by the roof. Students manage those places (library,

bar, fi tness).

minimal housingliving in a minimal surface (20m2)

programThe concept must come from our idea of a quality we fi nd

in Lausanne. . This is a district with 4 clients which have to live in the same plot. They where given at random and the

project had to adapt itself to their desires.

conceptThe project develops itself around 3 places. These places

represents the various levels of Lausanne (Ouchy, Flon, Cathédrale). The public circulation is dug in a monolithic

block and connects the 3 places.

working methodWe work fi rst with several plaster models that allowed

us to build the empty spaces. With the dug shape, the challenge was to have no unused spaces. That’s why we

tried to integrate specifi c functions and stairs in these parts.

the thresholdcultural center & restaurant & hotel

inspirationThis project found its inspiration by the island of the deaths

from Arnold Böcklin. It tries especially to provoke spatial sensations. At fi rst sight, it is a little bit terrible and scary, almost dantesque. Its caracter makes him the entrance.

conceptThis project treat the theme of duality and space expe-

riment. This contrast between the impressive and close aspect of the outside and the openings and the fl uidity of

the inside brings more strength to the experience. In spite of their opposition, they possesses the same base.

structureIt was important to connect both parts by the structure. These results of the superimposing of «lines» surrounding

the building. These lines result from the base geometry and from the visitors fl ows. They are perfectly stacked towards

the lake and parts to form terraces towards the hill.

the beastartist studio on Isola Comacina

introduction Islola Comacina, so known as the island of the artists is

an ideal place to develop creativity and thought. There is already several artist ’s house on the island. This project

proposes a new place of retreat for artists.

conceptThe project is like an animal which comes down to the lake

to drink. It takes the shape of a snake to marry better the slope. The project consists in a unique space subdivided

into three parts, the upper one for the night, the middle one for the day and towards the lake, the studio.

double skinThe studio is constituted by a double skin, a concrete shell

which protects outside and a wooden membrane inside. We have thus a warm atmosphere inside. This double skin also allows to integrate the services into its thickness. The

space remains free of any furniture and object.

archipelagoes citieshousing & bar

introductionThe idea was to build a « vertical city » mixing various programs . This city develops itself on a vertical matrix

that contains 16 plots. Each student received a plot and could develop then freely his program. The point of the

teaching was mainly about the process and the interac-tion between the students. and the different project.

conceptThe project is situated in the middle. In a way to answer to

it situation, he contains housing and a public bar. It also makes the link between two places of two matrices. It works

a lot with the other project because of its centrality. The project is the continuation of the public slab which folds

itself to generate indoor and outdoor spaces.

introductionThis « low rise high density » neighborhood in Lausanne

limits the urban spreading while still offering a comfortable house to its occupants in a 10 x 19 meters plot.. Each

the tranches Geneva construction of the urban ground

didactic objective« Recognize on the ground a specific volumetric definition;

avoid considering the urban project as a commonplace articulation of « full » and « empty », but as that must gua-

rantee a formal autonomy in the space opened. »

analysisAt the city scale, the trenches are the link and the sepa-

ration between the news and the old city. At the territorial scale, the project is a part of a vaster system that connect

both sides of the lake.

moebus stadiumstructural & architectural conception

inspirationFor this project, we chose as source of inspiration the

ribbon of Moebius because of its unique geometrical property. Then we thought about a program which would

be adequate to the shape of ring which is created by the ribbon of Moebius. We chose then to make a stadium.

working methodThe first step was to confer a volume to our project. Thus

we tried to adapt the ribbon of Moebius to a polygonale section. We work first with a square, but we realised that a

triangular section was more adapted to a stadium.

modul deformationWe studied several structural systems (frames, shells, mesh).

The complexity of our shape and the rotation of the section led us to opt for a metallic net made by several moduls. The module can deform and adapt itself to the

geometrical complexity of the shape.
