Dijon Building
MVRDV has completed transformation of a disused Dijon Mustard laboratory into an large call centre – 600 work spaces – with an education centre, incubator and social program. For these Dutch architects it represents an “exemplary project” : transformation through reuse is one of the contemporary issues in European architecture since the current crisis.

Touching the Loire Nantes
Following an international competition bringing together 60 team applications, “Touching the Loire” came third. The project mixes housing, activities and services, including the extension of the largest veterinary clinic in France. In the visual axis of the boulevard and the bridge, the architectural project emerges from the ground and soars into the sky, giving structure and elegance to the culmination of the housing block. A vertical break, associated with a public thoroughfare, constitutes a double gateway to the Loire and Ile de Nantes, clearly marking the entrance to the district.
