From the architect.<\/em> The project is located in the centre of Rennes and is composed of a home for the elderly, a children\u2019s nursery and a restaurant with three levels underground parking.It also encompasses the existing “Notre Dame de Lourdes” clinic complex which is located on the north of the plot along the rue Saint Helier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The use of empty space to structure and animate the project is a result of its functional requirements, urban context and site location.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The project is very much a part of its environment in terms of alignment, building height and rhythm while at the same time keeping a certain distance from same with its play on depth and transparency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The principal south facing volume which gives onto the street has a double curtain wall fa\u00e7ade which permits the use of climbing vegetation this in turn reduces the impact of natural light on the fa\u00e7ade and also acts as a solution to privacy problems.The west side has a series of hanging planters that punctuate the fa\u00e7ade and give the residents a green view.The style of the project takes its cues from the neighbouring buildings and has been inserted with care and attention. A treatment by shadow joint separates the fa\u00e7ades old and new and this allows the alignment of the new parapet with the roof of the existing building.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

An important focus of the operation was to form a therapeutic link for the Alzheimer\u2019s patients with the exterior spaces. To achieve this goal the building is organized around a landscaped environment of an existing park, flower and vegetable gardens and the applied planting that brings life to the fa\u00e7ades (planters and cables for climbing plants).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The use of colour in the interior spaces was an important way to highlight the different spaces and an aid to orientation for the Alzheimer\u2019s patients.<\/p>\n
