Nestled in the heart of Rue Daguerre, just off a carriageway, this project builds on the area’s commercial heritage. It centers on the artisanal expertise of the Arte print shop, which engages in a dialogue with a student residence, further enhancing the site’s vitality. This interplay of uses transforms the space into a constantly evolving environment where connections are forged between artisanal practice, learning, and neighborhood life.
Light, the project’s central theme, reveals and structures the various uses according to the site’s sunlight conditions. Balancing reversible renovation with heritage preservation, this project capitalizes on the existing industrial architectural qualities and aims to transform the site into a vibrant, communal, and creative space.
