The project is integrated to the environment by its topography and materiality. The roof work is directly inspired by the gable roofs of the surrounding country houses. Nozay’s blue stone is reinterpreted and adapted to the project. It covers the building’s pedestal and turns into the pavement of the public space in the form of thin slices of slate.

The building is a monolith of pre-patinated zinc. The roof’s materiality is pursued onto the facade. Each zinc cone is truncated by a skylight, which provides a soft and intimate light and a natural ventilation of the interior space.

Following a bioclimatic approach, the architecture is clean and compact. The landscape is contrasted by the unclear limits of the building, which are outlined by the skin’s spikes and the vertical sun shading system. In other words, the project combines the mineral and natural environment of Nozay. Both, healthcare and office units, are organized around a courtyard.

The openings, sculpted into the monolith in the form of an anodized aluminum loggia, ensure a visual perspective in every direction. Positioned at the end of the circulation, these loggias facilitate orientation in space.
