The park is a haven of nature in the heart of the city. It is in this inspiring place populated by tall trees that the Anglicane team invites us to enjoy beautiful moments.
We wanted the Anglicane to remain the anchor of the new intervention. We studied it to understand its spirit, its structure, its morphology, and to try to sketch out the little offspring that would continue in the same lineage.
The Anglicane is built and lived around a main linear axis. With its imposing height compared to its width, the relatively modest volume takes on all its dignity. The stone makes it feel solid for centuries. The wood of the roof structure and ceilings gives it its unique warmth. This is a brief description of the father, we had to conceive the grandson in a way.
The addition, the grandson in short, is built along an axis like his grandfather. His wooden structure has the same rhythm. The cordon that connects them is inscribed in the extension of the transept, which leaves the main facade autonomy to each. This necessary link is thus hardly perceptible.
The wood also composes its ceiling which brings its warmth and the glass, which today has large dimensions and improved thermal resistance, allows a privileged contact with the environment of the park.
Thus, despite our harsh climate, we can admire the grandfather and the magnificent trees that accompany it. It is a way to bathe in the spirit of the place. In good weather the courtyard between the two becomes a gathering place or a place for intimate shows.
