News – BoB architecture

[Exhibition] > From February 26 to 28, our project A Fighera will be in Paris at the Grand Palais as part of the exhibition “The 21st-Century Wood/Bio-Based Architecture Gallery.”

A Fighera (formerly Carmelha) is a 100% wooden project, boldly innovative and… inherently sensual. An immersion into the heart of the material, an experience where wood unveils its full potential.
“In the Wood for Love” – when architecture takes pleasure.

Official visit of the delegation of representatives from the Government and the National Council, and presentation of the project to Mr. Didier Guillaume, Minister of State, and Mrs. Céline Caron-Dagioni, Government Counselor-Minister of Equipment, Environment, and Urban Planning.

On this occasion, the state-owned Carmelha project was renamed Fighera, in tribute to the extensive integration of wood into the building’s structure and core.

Paris, 16th arrondissement – Rue Pergolèse

Commissioned in 2021 by the Ministry of International Relations and La Francophonie, the BELLECOUR Architectes studio has completed the renovation of the Québec Delegation Office in Paris.

Beyond the technical challenge of extensive rehabilitation and bringing the building up to standard, the goal was to combine the preservation of an existing architectural heritage with the modernization of spaces, while taking into account the evolution of work practices. More than just an adaptation to new flexible working methods, this project aimed to transform the site into a true showcase of Québec, incorporating materials and furnishings emblematic of Québec’s expertise.

Bruges, in the Tasta district, delivery of a collective housing program and individual houses. The residence located in a green landscape offers a privileged living environment. Apartments with wide views and large balconies in a building not exceeding two floors.

The rehabilitation project for the Maurice Thorez housing estate, carried out on an occupied site, is part of a process of reinvesting in the pre-existing neighbourhood. This complex project involves the renovation of 10 buildings comprising 510 housing units over a surface area of more than 30,000 sqm.

The Maurice Thorez housing estate was at the heart of a vast urban requalification project. The aim of this requalification was to develop soft mobility, the enhancement of buildings, and “better living together”.
The rehabilitation project allowed the creation of a central square, a strong element of “social cohesion” in the district. A real “agora”, a place of crossings and exchanges, it will allow the articulation between the Maurice Thorez district and its neighbourhood.
The project is part of a sustainable development approach by obtaining CERQUAL Qualitel Certification environmental certification. To achieve this objective, the 10 buildings have undergone extensive work to improve their energy performance. The renovation of the facades has resulted in a fourfold reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The green spaces and car parks have also been embellished.

After the delivery of the Ekla building in 2021, we are delivering the second building of the operation by Fayat Immobilier. Located within the Parc Ausone in Bruges, the Ekilibre residence, a biosourced construction (wooden frame walls and CLT floors) accommodates 29 apartments offering large balconies with a view of the park.

Delivery of the last buildings of the vast requalification operation of the Ardillos site. Realized as an exemplary eco-district, the park located in the center of Mérignac offers 526 new housing units combining sustainable development and social diversity.
