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.

The terminal embodies a dual imaginary: that of departure or return to the country, and that of arrival in a mythical destination. Designed as a symbolic gateway to New Caledonia, it blends modernity and cultural roots, inspired by ritual totems and the entrance doors of traditional houses. The project is organized around a fluid axis connecting the city to the track, with transition spaces marked by lush gardens reflecting the local flora. Passengers pass through the existing building to access the new public hall, with its interior gardens, before reaching the city via a third garden, which respects the existing trees and extends the avenue of access.
