We've selected what we feel are the key examples of French Building Developments. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.
We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across France. The focus is on contemporary French buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

Steelband Project - 24 Jul 2012
Office & Architecture Studio - The Steelband project had its origin in 2007 when five firms (auditor, near estate broker, architects, landscape architects and graphic designers) decided to come together to create custom designed sustainable offices. For their purpose, they choose as a starting point the German “Banggruppe” promoting self-development.

Touching the Loire Nantes - 24 Jul 2012
Following an international competition bringing together 60 team applications, “Touching the Loire” came third. The project mixes housing, activities and services, including the extension of the largest veterinary clinic in France. In the visual axis of the boulevard and the bridge, the architectural project emerges from the ground and soars into the sky, giving structure and elegance to the culmination of the housing block. A vertical break, associated with a public thoroughfare, constitutes a double gateway to the Loire and Ile de Nantes, clearly marking the entrance to the district.

Scenographic Huts - 4 May 2012
At the request of Isabelle de Beaufort, we have created a stage set for her “Neige de Culture” project on the Serre-Chevalier ski slopes. The aim of “Neige de Culture” is to provide themed cultural itineraries on subjects such as the history of the Romans in the Alps or from Vauban to Briançon. The stories that unfold during these itineraries are underpinned by stage scenery elements such as huts, totem poles and triangulation rocks.
We have 6 pages of French Building Design selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.
