THE SEMAPHORE Angers (France) - 2018
General presentation
Contexte & enjeux
The boulevard Gambetta project connects the site to its near and distant environment by becoming part of the Angers skyline.
This contemporary emergence, in dialogue with the historic city, creates an exceptional place with a strong appeal that could become a “must-see” place in Angers. A specific programme combines exceptional location, design, catering, panoramic street and 2.0 tourism.
In addition, the project continues the logic of pedestrian crossings of the surrounding blocks and establishes serene neighbourhood compositions with the creation of shared spaces for all residents.
