ECOLE NATIONALE DES GARÇONS Preservation, Adaptive Reuse, Rouen 2012
SA Architects worked with Ataub Associates on the preservation & adaptive reuse of three buildings, an abbey and two historic properties, into office and cultural spaces, open to the residents of Rouen.
The project included the revitalization of crumbling 19th Century buildings and the development of new public space below a glass roof, that constitutes a connection between the main building and the church. Visible from the street, this space serves as an entry with a public reception.
