A Crematorium in Liège Projet Bac 1 2016 The year-end project located in Liège, we have the choice between 3 theme: - Public baths - A vineyard - A crematorium I chose the crematorium because I find there is a spiritual aspect interesting. It is necessary to create an atmosphere and a special architecture in order to appease and accompany people at best when a loved one is lost. I liked the challenge.

My crematorium is at the top of a citadel. Its shape in length consists of spaces that succumb to each other, such as the stages of a mourning. The shape of the building contains a green space that allows to appease visitors. The crematorium orients itself to a view of the city. This symbolizes the idea of rising after a grief.

Temporary housing Projet Bac 2 2016 This first project of 2nd year is located in front of the canal north of Brussels.

It is a family home for 4 peoples.

It must be able to be repeat itself several times.

This dwelling has great light capacity in order to enjoy all the directions.

Firehouse Projet Bac 2 2016 This fire station is located on a levelling ground, close to major highways. The goal was to have a very functional fire station.

There was need a rapid access capacibility to the vehicules.

The new challenge was not to fracture the horizontality of the paysage around, despite the height of a truck shed. So I decided to bury part of the hangar underground.

It was also necessary to allow the living spaces of firefighters and the space of vehicles to coexist. That’s why I chose two wings that are intertwined and distinct. The junction point creates an interior patio bringing light into both spaces.

To reinforce the sense of clarity, I created a lightweight steel structure supported by porticoes.

The only solid elements are the 2 wing-shaped roofs.

It is a house for a family of 4 peoples. It consists in 3 floors, 2 floors on street and 3 overlooks the garden. The link between the public park and the house is established by a wine cellar on the ground garden of the house.

The circulation is made by a very open and central staircase. The living room offers a very bright double heigh. The facade of the street is integrated within the town planning while the originality of the other facade is perceivable only from the park.

Collective dwelling Projet Bac 3 2017 It is a group of dwellings in a fictional city. The housing block is located at the opposite of the square and attached to a large axis.

I make a housing block as to be built along the streets to strengthen the urban area fabric. In the centre of the housing block there is a large park for all residents. Common spaces are arranged at the level of the circulations on each floor in order to promote exchanges and conviviality. These spaces offers streets and park viewpoint.

3 type of appartements are in Dupleix. They offers double height at the level of the living room and the terrace which allows better access to light.

The rooms are located as much as possible towards the park, quiet side, while the living areas are oriented towards the city, active side.

The east and south facades are composed of 2 levels to allow light to pass through the collective park. The north and west facades rise 4 levels to close the square and the boulevard.

Collective dwelling in Dendermonde Projet Bac 3 2018 Where take a place into the territory ?

There is significant urban sprawl along the main roads of Dendermonde.

Where take a place into the city ?

To avoid sprawl, the boundaries of the city had to be redefined by favouring the old boundaries, which were natural barriers such as water and vegetation and the park.

We have extended the green belt, it’s becoming the new limit.

How to live ?

We offer individual housing qualities while living in a collective space.

The housing ?

We have raised our building on pillar to allow a circulation under our building and living spaces collective and not to cut the park in half.

Between our Appartament we have installed a horizzonal continuous circulation system that connects all common spaces.

In order to promote soft mobility and remove cars from the city, we transformed a large road axis at the edge of our project, to a park avenue. It also promotes the link between the historic heart of the city and the canal.

Architectonic facade Project in binomial - Bac 2 2017 Our project consists in a facade renovation.

The facade renovation is a composition of several volumes, independent from each other, To arrive at this final composition, we tried several possibilities, including varying the location and shape of our volumes.

1- Organisation of cells We have 2 different kinds of volume on our facade, one corresponds to 2 bedrooms, the other is the equivalent of 3. The volumes have rectangular frames. Each frame forms a terrace for the 2 or 3 bedrooms. This external link between the rooms creates contact between peoples.

2- Independence of volumes To increase the readability of our facade and the understanding of the differents volumes. We have created gaps between our cells. They are set up by our structure. These gaps creates a lightness and tension between our volumes.

They bring the impression of floating.

3- Constructive principle We are using two constructive principles. One is a cantilever and the other work in a supportive constructions. The cantilever works thanks to the tie bars attached to our facade. They are fixed to porith boards, which are screwed to our facade to a block that has been reinforced by reinforced concrete.

For the materiality of our project we chose Corten steel. We love its ability to age well in time and its warm color.
