Submarine bunker redevelopment: Architecture competition win
The street traversing the entire base creates interaction between the bunker cells. The hall for the international centre for emerging art forms (LiFE) is a minimalistically equipped “Monospace”. It is situated in a former submarine basin and can be opened up towards the harbour through a large, retractable gate.

Saint-Nazaire is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France, in traditional Brittany. The town has a major harbour, on the right bank of the Loire River estuary, near the Atlantic Ocean. The town of St. Nazaire was rebuilt in the late 1940s in a minimalist functional style.
What was a small village until the industrial area became a large town in the second half of the 19th century, thanks to the construction of railways and the growth of the seaport. Saint-Nazaire progressively replaced Nantes as the main haven on the Loire estuary. The submarine base was used by the French Navy from 1945 to 1948.
