Guillaume Da Silva Architectures Intérieurs was commissioned to design the layout of the secondary school located in the Wazemmes district of Lille. Located at a 4-way crossroads, the school is a structuring element of the urban space.
Architecture integrated into the historic urban fabric
On rue Montebello, the main entrance is under the porch of a former mansion. A historic garden is inspired by a completely invented design from the same period. The wooden construction offers an unusual style to conceal the window and door openings. The guiding principle was to highlight the old building by creating a monolithic yet light façade on the boulevard. It opens onto the green roofs of the canteen on the opposite side. We wanted to highlight the introverted characteristics of the plot by recreating views to the outside. The school becomes a microcosm where priority is given to interior life. The overall organization is based on the surrounding buildings, such as the facades, the street structure and the Hôtel Montigny.
