A STRONG LANDSCAPE INTEGRATION

The terminal blends harmoniously with the natural topography, its compact massing preserving visual breakthroughs. Mainly on one level, it highlights the slope of the site and, like a deployed airplane wing, seems to be placed on the forecourt. Its corrugated roof gives the illusion of a building emerging from the ground.

The forecourt, mineral and vegetable, constitutes a functional and unifying pole, facilitating gentle access and the tram-train located in the South. The interior spaces, bright and modular thanks to transparent and flexible walls, express constructive clarity and the “truth of materials”.

Vegetation is integrated as a dynamic and identity component of the project. The artificial light, incorporated into the structure, creates, at night, a visible halo from the entrance of the site.

HOW TO TRANSFORM A TRANSPORT HUB INTO AN URBAN PLACE

The project seeks a harmonious transition of scale between the existing suburban fabric, to be preserved according to the PLU, and a new metropolitan dimension accompanying the arrival of the Grand Paris metro.

The requalification of public spaces combines the integration of a multimodal hub (M13, M15, bus station, cycle paths, Véligo) and the creation of a landscaped forecourt promoting daily urban life. This forecourt is based on:

• a continuous floor, from facade to facade, promoting pedestrian flows;
• a connection to the existing urban framework;
• the integration of the plant and a permeable soil;
• a framework of varied uses: terraces, market, carousel, food trucks, events.

WINNING PROJECT FOR EXTENSION OF THE NANCY STATION

The operation, consisting of a tertiary building and two public halls, extends the Nancy station with the arrival of the TGV-Est. Major project of the Republic site, it connects the spaces through a coherent organization and integrates harmoniously into an environment with a strong heritage character.

Two large windows ensure the connection: the Trains hall, between the station and Place Thiers, and the Tramways hall, integrating the new station as well as the service and commercial spaces.

The floors house offices. Combining silk-screened glass and limestone, the facade highlights local expertise. The transparency of the first levels makes activities visible and creates bright and welcoming spaces.
