Highrise building Tartu MNT 17
Tallinn, Estonia

Our architectural concept for the high-rise building in Tallinn is rooted in the ethos of creating a dynamic, functional, and visually captivating structure that seamlessly integrates into the fabric of the city while prioritizing human-scale interactions and environmental sensitivity. Our vision is to not only create a striking landmark but also to enhance the quality of urban life and public spaces surrounding the building.

Iconic Silhouette with a Human Touch: The design of the building will feature a distinctive silhouette that adds to Tallinn's skyline, yet it will also incorporate elements that resonate with human scale and sensitivity. This will be achieved through thoughtful facade articulation, setbacks at different levels to break down the massing, and the inclusion of terraces and green spaces at various heights to create visual interest and foster a sense of community.

Multi-Functional Spaces: The building will serve as a multi-functional hub, seamlessly blending public, commercial, and residential spaces. At its base, there will be vibrant commercial areas, including cafes, shops, and galleries, designed to invigorate street life and create opportunities for social interaction. These spaces will spill out onto carefully designed public plazas and pedestrian walkways, enhancing the overall urban experience.

Semi-Public Amenities: To offer residents and visitors alike opportunities to enjoy panoramic views of Tallinn, we will incorporate semi-public amenities such as a rooftop cafe, an art gallery showcasing local talent, and a viewing platform offering breathtaking vistas of the city and its surroundings. These spaces will not only serve as focal points for social gatherings but also contribute to the building's identity as a cultural destination.

Environmental Sensitivity: Sustainability will be at the forefront of our design approach. The building will incorporate green building technologies, such as solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and passive design strategies to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact. Vertical greenery and landscaped terraces will not only enhance the building's aesthetics but also promote biodiversity and improve air quality.

Requalification Pont du Lion
Saint - Génis - Pouilly, France

The project consists of a new development and the ­revaluation of the Lion Bridge in Saint Genis Pouilly near the CERN. The existing bridge spans over the river Lion. It allows road traffic at the entrance of the agglomeration. The approximate width of the carriageway is 7 m and the span of the bridge is 17.5 m. A survey report provided of a detailed study of the ­existing structure. Continuing the re-qualification of the Rue de Genève and downtown Saint- Genis-Pouilly, it aims at redefining the bridge without changing the current structure to allow a new intervention. The project allows road traffic at the entrance to the town and improves pedestrian traffic by about 2.20 m at the bridge approaches, which is currently reduced to about 1 m.

The requalification of the Lion Bridge responds to its relatively high traffic and the difficulties of access for pedestrians and disable. The project also highlights the question of ­integrating this infrastructure element into its landscape, in this case along the river and its landscaped accesses along the entire route along the river.
