In the centre of the Town of Anthony – more specifically the town’s commercial and cultural centre, opposite the new market – the project involved the construction of 20 residential units and 4 retail units in place of the former Firmin Gémier theatre.

Tisser des liens

The project builds up the edges of the square facing the market. On the site of the former theatre, the three levels of the project have long, deep loggia, set like a balcony over the market and its lively urban scenes. The ground floor restores contemporary arcades that will be home to restaurants with varying cuisines. The quality of the produce and local distribution networks are clearly highlighted and will drive this location, which is already known to residents for its pop-up attractions. The building asserts itself through its materiality, in stone, and its minimal, elegant volumes which can be interpreted as a hollowed-out mass, or an architectonic superimposition of solid volumes (separate stone storage rooms) supporting horizontal slabs. Their linearity is emphasised by the projecting edges of the slabs. These strips of stone grow finer at each level, raising the façade up to the sky.

Sur mesure

In a context where the public space is so predominant and unique, the generous outdoor spaces and their storage area offer a high quality of use, while a setback protects and guarantees privacy for residents. In terms of the garden, the project boasts abundant outdoor spaces and pathways. The public circulation is both internal (vertical) and external (horizontal), promoting encounters and conversations. The multiple situations work together to create a series of shared spaces. The project showcases the theme of the “promenade”, which conducive to emerging social life and makes this building stand out in a dense town centre. The omnipresent planting forms landscapes at every level and offers a variety of scale and space, including private or shared gardens, allotments, patios, small gardens and terraces. The inner character of the building forms an inhabited landscape that will evolve with the lives of residents, who will be able to truly make it their own.

L’ensemble bâti est conçu d’un seul tenant, mais un jeu d’étagements ouvre des perspectives aériennes depuis la place, tandis qu’une grande variété typologique d’espaces extérieurs privatifs dynamise la volumétrie générale et assure la continuité végétale attendue. A la faveur d’une Haute Qualité d’Habitat, la diversité de logements créée offre la possibilité de vivre dans un lieu unique et riche : la générosité et la multiplicité des typologies se répercutent sur le quotidien. Lumière, vues, espaces intérieurs et extérieurs sont mis en exergue afin d’améliorer significativement le cadre de vie.

Simples mais soignées, les lignes et matériaux dépeignent matérialité et noblesse pour asseoir une certaine respectabilité. Pérenne et humaine, l’architecture affiche ses vertus environnementales. L’écriture simple et raisonnée du projet global vient s’animer grâce aux détails ouvragés de l’aluminium anodisé, dont la brillance reflète la lumière et contraste avec la matité de la matière minérale des corps de bâtiments.

tisser le lien

En interaction directe avec l’environnement, il s’érige au regard des valeurs qui régissent l’ensemble du secteur. Ce bâtiment joue un rôle important dans la requalification des espaces existant en réinsérant l’îlot dans la ville où la masse bâtie dialogue avec la volumétrie générale et où les différents rapports d’échelles (ville, quartier, piéton) s’agencent pour fédérer une dynamique. La qualité de son insertion et de son architecture doivent permettre de tisser le lien entre la ville et ses usagers. Ainsi se constitue un ilot homogène, dont la diversité harmonieuse reflète les richesses qui font la complexité et l’intérêt de la vie urbaine.
