Antonio Virga Architecte renovates and extends a tired nursery school and crèche

Paris based Antonio Virga Architecte has completed the renovation and extension of the Marie Marvingt Nursery School and Crèche in Issy-les-Moulineaux (a commune in the south-western suburban area of Paris). The studio reconfigured and transformed an already existing and tired building, creating a contemporary design with a strong, comprehensive, and enduring identity. The early learning centre comprises a nursery school on its ground and first floor levels and a crèche on its second and third floor levels.

A new wood clad building marks the entrance to the nursery school and crèche and offers a pleasing contrast to the adjacent wing’s white plaster facade. “By means of a simple elevation and a double-sloped roof, the volume of the entrance acts as a landmark for the centre,” says Antonio Virga. The “wood house” works as a natural meeting point and a shared space for all users. “The symbolic figure of the house, clad in wood, allows the architecture to be clearly appropriated by the children, their parents, and the teachers,” says the architect.
