This project consists in refurbishing and improving the summer and winter comfort of the users of the French ambassador’s residence in La Marsa. The refurbishment of the building uses bioclimatic design by taking advantage of the site and its surroundings. In addition, the objective is to reduce the environmental and the financial impacts of the building on its surroundings. Therefore, the layout is designed to reduce energy consumption and improve energy performance.

The challenges of this project are also to reorganize several spaces to create a coherent and functional building : enhancement of the site’s heritage and architectural quality, accessibility for all disabilities, landscaping design to create shade, protection and a welcoming atmospheer for the users.
