COLORS AT SCHOOL prOject Led by Marine bOurhis
After obtaining my degree, I collaborated with an interior architecture student. I was able to contribute my architectural knowledge, particularly in technical aspects. I assisted in refining her project and created the corresponding graphical documents.

The project is located within a primary school in the Paris region. The goal was to transform the interior of the building, especially the entrance hall, to enhance the experience for both teachers and students. Currently, the space features concrete walls painted in white. Therefore, the decision was made to retain these elements to emphasize the additions made, which are primarily in wood.
Colors
There are three new elements in the design. Firstly, the wooden arches located on either side of the hall. They serve as partitions for storage areas for the children and provide more intimate spaces within the hall. A color-coding system was implemented to identify each class. Secondly, wooden floors in two different shades were installed to help the children easily identify the floor of their class, along with a color-coding system on the floor for the same purpose. Lastly, a glass mezzanine was created to make the upper level more functional while maintaining the influx of light on the ground floor. It was in these technical aspects and the graphical documents that I was able to be of most assistance.
The mezzanine
The mezzanine area currently has a double-height space. Thus, the decision was made to construct a metal structure that rests on the existing walls and the 50 cm thick concrete floor. This structure supports triple-laminated glass panels as well as a new railing.
The produced documents aim to be realistic while adding color, just as the actual project would be.
