Atelier Filippini

Restructuring and extension of a municipal nursery in Montreuil.

Filippini architecture & patrimoine as Architects

The equipment is installed on the ground floor and first floor of an apartment building constructed in the 1970’s. Architecture of the building is an own identity, to show the specificity of the use of public equipment. The project proposes a special treatment for the angle of the area and development of the boundaries of property by a set of levels and fencing walls. The outer area of the equipment is clearly bounded public space by a solid wall along the sidewalk, absorbing a significant elevation of 1.40 meter. Outdoor spaces are protected from urban traffic nuisances. Raised, equipment dominates public space. The new volumes in lightweight structures are treated differently: on the south side with more "urban" (steel and Trespa) approach in continuity with the façades on street. On the east side extensions are treated as volumes largely glazed into the gardens and shaded by two large existing trees. This diversity of volumes, colors and materials to create an intimate and varied universe adapted to the scale of small users. A terrace of water games has created on the south side, sheltered and protected by a screen wall street made concrete matrix with matrices with bamboo shoots. A small volume produced in natural wood siding is located in the middle of the garden, to delineate the different respective sections use spaces. This volume also serves as a shelter for the storage of outdoor games. This volume not closed, also offers direct access to the garden patrons to the floor through a gateway and a stair wood serving incidental emergency exit.
