Extension

Extension of the National Swedish Museum of Technology, housing a visualization dome, a spherical space where visualization technology achieves an immersive audiovisual experience, along with a café and an exhibition hall. The building splices together museum functions around an unused courtyard, and though the dome function is tall, the addition is sensitive to the vaulted hall and lower buildings defining the courtyard today.

The building occupies 78.20m² in the village known as Favelinha (Favela Aglomerado da Serra, Belo Horizonte) and is built in three levels, totaling 194.73m² of covered area. The existing construction started in 1995, although it had never been fully completed until 2017 when the LEVANTE Favelinha project/collective was founded.

Les Blanches de Payzac is located in a tiny village in the south of Ardèche, where traditional construction still predominates. The existing house, originally built in 2007, contrasts with this vernacular architecture. Setting up in a privileged and isolated plot, the house weaves a close and strong relationship between nature and architecture. Voluntary facing the grand landscape, its oversized glass windows offer generous views towards olive trees, stone pines, and aromatic plants while its concrete facades remind rocks of the surroundings and the tradition of retaining dry stone walls that compose this beautiful and contrasted landscape.
