Urban Quartz

Rennes

Near to the train station, Urban Quartz initiates the urban intervention project ‘EuroRennes’.

This development plan for the sector, led by FGP, is an invitation to audacious and radical architecture.

Three chiseled buildings emerge from the railway landscape and revive the skyline. The sharp edges of these volumes create a break between each structure, like a canyon where urban space infiltrates down into the heart of the block to reveal a panoramic view of the wild garden.

This unusual script proposes an alternative, ample and lively interpretation of the office program.
