House of companions - Pantin (93)

Rehabilitation of the Compagnons du Devoir centre of excellence

Le Centre de formation et d’hébergement situé à Pantin est la vitrine du savoir-faire des Compagnons du Devoir, un lieu d’accueil de tous les publics, un pôle d’échange et de partage des connaissances.
The multiplicity of functions "sleeping", "feeding", "studying", "working", in the same existing envelope was a great challenge for us.

The project aims to radically change the image of the existing building by giving it the status of a building of outstanding public interest in this industrial sector of the city.

The body of the building is covered with a metal mesh: this second skin makes it possible to erase the very repetitive aspect of the existing architecture, to introduce a play of modulation in a rigid framework, and to affirm its stature.
In this way, the Maison des Compagnons, designed as a facility in the city, plays its full role as a signal: the double skin diffuses the interior light, like a "lantern" to welcome the visitor.
