Challenge : inaugurated in 1930, the Fondation des Etats-Unis accommodates nearly 270 residents in an Art Deco building. The rooms in the East and Central wings, direct witnesses of the original spirit of the place, were not suited to current uses and needs. The challenge of the renovation was to modernize the residence, allowing it to meet contemporary standards of quality while preserving its specificity and charm.
Our mission :
- Assistant to the Fondation
- Architecture competition
- Study and construction site monitoring, until delivery, overseeing the renovation of a building of architectural importance
- Extensive internal communication was implemented to inform the students still occupying the other wings of the building during the works
Project : the project involves a comprehensive renovation of the East Wing, from the lower ground floor housing the foyer, communal spaces, a large, shared kitchen, etc., up to the terrace on the 5th floor. Thus, 70 rooms with bathrooms were created, along with 5 kitchens and 5 bathrooms. The central wing will also benefit from this renovation with the creation of studios for researcher couples.
This renovation is an opportunity for the Fondation des Etats-Unis to adopt more environmentally friendly behaviors and reduce its ecological footprint.
