The Simplicity of Earth and Wood
Located in the courtyard of the Palais de l’Alma, this daycare centre is defined by its use of natural materials – rammed earth and wood – blending harmoniously with the surrounding garden. The design prioritises a clear, efficient, rational, and above all functional layout to support children’s development, provide a safe environment, and foster communication between parents and staff. Earth, a qualitative and sustainable material, not only supports construction but also represents a deeper commitment to environmental responsibility and the local economy.
