Buildings

The site of the ZAC Coeur de Poulfanc in Séné presents an exceptional quality of landscape. Its gentle topography (seen to the right of our site) and its woodland framing make it a very characterful site. These elements are highlighted by the architecture and volumetry of the buildings. The design and conception of the project is based on an initial idea postulated as a statement: ‘Above all else, not to work against the existing landscape by enforcing on it a residential model, but to propose a development of the built environment that is in keeping with the natural qualities of the site’.

Earth, oxygen, and urban connection. The Housing Building is silently inserted in the neighborhood of Las Mercedes, a low-scale residential area in Asunción on a constant transformation or densification process. It is built on a small plot (8.40m x 25m) and tries to operate with the greatest respect in a consolidated housing area in the context of ceramics and greenery.

Hale Wharf occupies a sliver of land where the urban intensity of Tottenham Hale meets designated green belt, the reservoirs and rivers of the Lee Valley, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). A residential development for joint venture Waterside Places (Muse Developments and the Canal and River Trust), once complete it will provide 505 homes of a mix of size and tenure. Phase one of the development, 249 homes in the two tallest buildings within the Hale Wharf masterplan, has recently completed.

Located in front of the monumental complex of Cordoba (Spain), Campo de la Verdad has gone through a major transformation in recent years. The refurbishment of the Roman Bridge and the surroundings of the Calahorra Tower, as well as the construction of Miraflores Bridge, have substantially improved the connection between the two banks of the Guadalquivir river. In addition, important facilities such as the new Miraflores Park and the Andalusian Centre for Contemporary Creation C4 have eliminated the condition of suburbs outside the city walls that have historically characterized this place. From this point of view, the site, now part of a strategic location in the city, must be understood not only in relation to the local pattern but also to this new condition.
