LA LIBERTÉ

This ambitious project combines social housing and a hotel on top of an office base: the structure consists of a stack of cubes connected by an oblong, elevated platform, marking the transition between the hotel and residential areas. This balanced composition of volumes gives the building a sculptural dynamic, reinforced by a play of materials: depending on the facade, the brick varies in shades of white, gray, or brown. To capture the northern light and integrate the housing into its environment, thin volumes of mirror-polished metal are grafted perpendicularly onto the vertical walls, multiplying the reflections and extending the landscape into the interior spaces.
