Foyer Saint-Famille

Competition proposal for an orphanage, a daycare facility and an apartment block for the nuns of Saint-Famille in Renens, Switzerland. Fragmentation as a response to the nearby urban context and the desire to preserve the existing trees. Small-scale volumes, each affirming its particular character. Search for the optimal shape to minimize circulation spaces and meet various programmatic requirements, an experimental approach with the “form follows function” motto.
