Project: Marchesini Headquarters
Architects: LAN Architecture
Location: Saint Mesmes, France
Constructed Area: 1,250 sqm
Project year: 2008
Photographs: Jean-Marie Monthiers

The primary intention of the programme was to explore the relationship between the building and its surroundings and between the building users and the landscape. One of the main design concerns was the building’s environmental adaptation and appropriation. The site slopes down three metres towards the west, offering attractive views over the neighbouring hills.
 
We wanted an office environment opens to the outdoor green spaces, a project which benefits from the natural, lights and colours, and respects the landscape while inserting a new constructed “object” within it. Thus we imagined the building as a sort of line that simultaneously follows the skyline and the ground.  We separate the space into two distinct volumes: offices in the upper area and the workshop volume anchored to the ground. This separation also corresponded to the different needs of the two areas in terms of lights, spatial capacities, finishing qualities, etc.
