In a building of the XVIII century in the rue du Sentier that housed one of the first textile stores prêt-à -porter (ready-to-wear), with the license granted as another project architect, the land´s lord contacted us to develop the final design and to take care of construction management. We proposed a series of elements that supposed improvements, as it was a more subtle interventions in the street facade, strengthen dialogue between the new and the old, some of the common parts for upgrading the pre-existence, to make panoramic elevators, in the courtyard behind or introducing into the blind vertical walls, gardens. The project is waiting to find a hotel chain operator.
