Villa M, by Triptyque Architecture

(Michel Denancé/CASACOR)

The hospital architecture of Villa M brings a little bit of the Amazon to Paris . Designed by the Franco-Brazilian firm Triptyque Architecture , the project aims to create a new pact between city, nature and health. The program, designed by Thierry Lorente and Amanda Lehmann of Groupe Pasteur Mutualité, aims to create a "villa médicis" in Paris.

The building, a dynamic and evolving health center, stands out for its living façade , whose geometry formed by metal structure beams was designed to house medicinal herbaceous plants , fruit trees and medium and large perennial species.

Designed as an exoskeleton, the façade has a minimalist and lightweight design and was created by fitting together prefabricated structures, like in a construction game.

The design of Villa M wants architecture to return nature to the city and its main objective is to offer citizens a new urban experience with the advent of a "nature city".

Law Firm Headquarters, by BLOCO Arquitetos and Renata Dutra Arquitetura

Leading the award-winning project, BLOCO Arquitetos and Renata Dutra reused the partially demolished concrete structure of an existing house to design a new headquarters for this law firm.

The building will reuse rainwater and use photovoltaic energy , in addition to incorporating other energy-saving strategies in its daily use, such as the use of an automated VRF central air conditioning system and lighting control.

The new installations were left exposed throughout most of the building. The final shape of the roof is the result of maintaining and reusing the structure of two existing concrete slab roofs that were joined by a third central section of metal roofing that has openings for the entry of natural light and ventilation.

The project used a metal structure and steel deck slabs to expand the existing construction area by 50% through additions and “grafting” of parts.
