About

The House of Woman shows in the city, as a clear expression of an exceptional program. It asserts its identity on the entire surface, and seeks dialogue with other nearby government buildings. Its large woven concrete, with vertical play in the street, and allows to let shine through the activities it houses, while protecting their privacy. Furthermore, the mixed public-private character is carefully articulated: the entrance of the housing is separated from the entrance to the House of Women, each designed with its own scale. The first three levels, which welcome the public part, are all in solid contrasts and generous empty and stretch into one great height, while the floors of housing, tighten the mesh.
