Private Mansion Paris
Contest - 2025
Description :
We have chosen to place the garden at the center of the project. Here, the garden is indoors. A patio in the heart of a Parisian building, protected from noise, set back from the street. It is designed as a place to pause and reflect. The landscape is constructed as a sensory and silent experience. You enter it slowly, in successive layers.
The architect:
H2O architects is an architectural, heritage, and urban design and redevelopment agency founded in 2005. It develops a variety of projects on different scales: housing, public spaces, new neighborhoods, work and teaching environments, and cultural facilities. The agency won the 2023 Équerre d'Argent award for its transformation of the former Ministry of the Armed Forces into 254 social housing units, carried out in collaboration with the François Brugel Architectes Associés agency.
