The project consists of the redevelopment and recycling of an existing building owned by Sunrise Ltd.

For this project, we decided to apply the concept of the duality “Common Sphere & Private Sphere”.

We decided to decompartmentalize all the existing floors and to reorganize the space with mobile and sliding elements.

The users can appropriate the spaces in community as in private with the help of removable furniture. The furniture is composed of transformable elements, sliding panels, and removable “cocoons”.

All the elements allow a better adaptation to the various events that the project can offer.

The false ceilings are organized among other things with an electrical and electronic grid allowing to connect the transformable elements as well as the removable elements.

For recycling purposes, we keep the whole concrete structure.

We propose to change all the peripheral facades of the building by a transparent double skin offering a better thermal and phonic insulation and also to bring natural light inside the project.

The only fixed elements of the project are the volumes hosting water such as the sanitary facilities, the kitchen and the retention tanks. These tanks allow a better management of rainwater being on marshy grounds also, they allow an autonomy of the project with regard to the water of the toilets and the watering.

For the roof, we propose a double function system allowing also to manage the rainwater for a vegetated roof and the sunshine of the building, these two elements allow a better regulation of the temperature of the building.

The whole project will respond to an ecological and economical approach for a responsible ecosystem in relation with its site while responding to an extreme flexibility of the space.
