Concrete arches overlook public square at Pôle Laherrère apartment blocks in France
건축스튜디오,  CoBe와 디자인 에이전시 WEEK가 함께 설계한 공동주택은 프랑스 파우에 위치한다. 공동주택 아래 광장에 생동감을 불어 넣기 위해 풀라레레르 블록을 수평으로 분할한후 노출콘크리트 바닥을 통유리 아치로 디자인 하였다. 목재와 어닝으로 외관을 디자인한 상층부와 대조적으로 구성하였다.

A series of playful concrete arches overlook a public square at the base of these office and social housing blocks in Pau, France, which have been designed by architecture studios CoBe and Paysage with design agency WEEK.

Called Pôle Laherrère, the project forms part of the wider urban renewal of Pau's Saragossa district, an area that is defined by large blocks of social housing built in the 1960s.

Replacing a disused hospice that was demolished, the new buildings provide social and student housing, offices, restaurants and a police station, organised around an existing square popular for its weekly markets.

"In a dynamic of resilience, the Saragosse district is reinventing itself around a new centrality: Laherrère Square, an urban piece already realized when we started working on the project," CoBe told Dezeen.

"The two buildings of the project were located around this major public space, in the heart of a housing estate landscape," it continued.

To animate the square below, the Pôle Laherrère blocks were split horizontally, contrasting exposed concrete bases punctured by fully-glazed arches with timber-clad upper storeys finished with awnings.

"We pay close attention to the life of the ground floors, supporting the idea that the base of the city must be intense, and encourage uses and meetings," the studio said.

"This is why we worked on a very transparent base, which gives to read the rich programming of the ground floors."

"The arches are inspired by the classical language reminiscent of the squares Reine-Marguerite or Gramont in Pau – these thick arches give order and stability to the square and create a high quality inside/outside relationship," CoBe added.

The eastern block contains housing above a multipurpose room, cooking school and police station, while the western block contains offices for companies that focus on integration through employment.
