Baillargues Nursery School

Bright and warm color illustrate a peaceful view, because the sky can sharp the whole volume clearly.

This entire environment highlights the Mediterranean identity of this site, which is essential to honor as a token of the optimal integration of the project.

 Respecting this Mediterranean identity is possible via the materials used but also through the volumes and proportion of the buildings that must take into account the surrounding constructions while maintaining its strong identity:  a school project is a priority in regards to public infrastructures.

 The land has noticeable slopes: a first steep slope between the rue de la Chicane and the small wood, in the East-West axis, and a second slope offering a favorable orientation for this site on its Southern side. It became an evidence to plan for a longitudinal building with a beautiful southern frontage in a towering position preserving the wooden area; furthermore this project was perfectly suited to the functionality of a school.

The space between street and building are limited by construction of the building. This space can protect the whole building and provide a nice walkpath.

The decoration should be designed in accrodance with building features. Like the ceiling in this picture, a childish atmosphere is promoted by these element.

It offers a very strong architecture that promotes its innovative nature, without being artificial, and underlines the integration and perception of a public building with a very specific layout of the project in this location.

I learned many method of dealing with color and the rate of volume. A appropriate rate should be concluded by nature and local features.
