This market hall is carried out as part of the creation of a green centre in the town of Coulanges-les-Nevers (France). The project will revitalise the town centre by creating a wooden hall to house a local farmersโ market. ๐ฅ
The structure will be made entirely of solid wood, sourced from local sawmills in the region, in order to promote circularity. ๐

Together with @ten_studio & @babinigeysen , we won the design competition for the new recycling centre in Jette.
๐ "The title ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ reflects the design ambition behind the new recycling centre for Jette, Brussels. The project aims to maximise the reuse of the existing buildings, components, and materials currently occupying the site by incorporating various levels of circularity. โป๏ธ
The project addresses the urgent challenges facing contemporary construction practices, namely, the increasing scarcity of raw materials and the impact of the carbon-intensive construction sector's impact on the environment and society." ๐
