The primary function of the Porquerolles Island project is to allow an increase in the station’s wastewater treatment capacity, which inevitably leads to larger sizing of the new buildings. Here, the challenge is to integrate these new buildings as well as possible into the natural terrain, while modifying the relief and vegetation as little as possible.
A supporting landscape born from « a rich agricultural tradition », the land in the Pugets district is located on the side of hillside and is part of the landscape unit of the Var Valley. This territory, represented in the form of a large garden resulting from a rural economy, has enabled multifaceted urbanization with individual and collective housing.
The project plans to recreate a prestigious hotel establishment, including both the restoration of the existing building and the creation of a garden, a sort of gateway from the sea or by land. Designed in hollow, it is made up of Mediterranean species, it emphasizes the landscape base of the Fort and enhances the exceptional natural setting of the place.
The preliminary landscape feasibility study leads to a global reflection on the understanding and modification of a territory. The project plans to create in the town of Mandelieu-la-Napoule an ultimate waste storage center for an operation of 30 years which will accommodate, in a valley developed for this purpose, 9 million m3 of waste. The project also includes a waste sorting and pre-treatment plant, occupying an area of approximately 3 hectares.
The study of the project concerns the extension of the Colle-de-Grune cemetery in Fréjus and covers all the land dedicated to the extension of the existing cemetery located in the classified natural site of Estérel.
This large-scale project concerns the Var territory which extends over more than 22km, between the municipality of Barjols and the municipality of St-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume. The landscape is made up of 10 enclosures / stages which punctuate the Departmental Route 560, animated by the aviaries of the gaze. These are incentives to discover the landscape, to stroll, to start a bike ride, a hike or simply places for rest and relaxation to rebuild a green link.
At the heart of the Plaine du Var, the MIN project is at the center of an ecological, architectural and landscape transversality. It is as much about considering the building in a dialectical relationship with its near and far environment as in its interaction with its environment, the preservation of ecological corridors in place (green and blue grid) in order to support the dynamic of landscape recomposition. In this way, the Ecotoit, which resonates with the valley landscape, constitutes a seat for plant biodiversity and constitutes the fifth facade of the project.
Between 1984 and 1999, several studies were carried out by the Faragou Agency in the territory of Mandelieu. They reflect various scales of intervention such as the large territory, the neighborhood, the urban operation and the landscaping in order to enhance and reposition the territory of Mandelieu-la-Napoule on the Côte-d´Azur.
The competition concerns the future Maison de l’Environnement in Valberg. The project combines the architecture with the remarkable landscape of the site in which the building is inserted. Focused on the theme of astronomy, the building represents the solar system and incorporates a planetarium.
The Baraques roundabout linking the RD 6202, on the left bank of the Var and the RD 6202 Bis on the right bank is the first major road intersection one comes to when travelling into Nice from the hinterland. This role as a strategic gateway into the city is echoed in the landscaping of the roundabout where two families of plants meet in the form of groves that create an almost theatrical setting for the sculpture of Bernard Pagès « Vent debout ».
