Cultural
Poissy Conservatory of Music and Performing Arts
Poissy (78)
Siting
The new conservatory negotiates a sensitive urban transition, stepping down gracefully between a four-story apartment block and neighboring private detached houses. The street elevation is split into two brick pavilions that frame the central volume containing the glazed entrance lobby, interior patio, and deep rear garden, establishing visual transparency from the public street through to the heart of the block.
To respect adjacent homes, the volumes step back along property borders to create sunken courtyards and green terraces that align with the scale of neighboring rooflines.
