Lemoal Lemoal Architectes<\/strong> are delivering the new Gonzague Saint Bris<\/strong> social and cultural center in Cabourg. The project has been driven by the mayor of Cabourg, whose aim was to group the city\u2019s cultural and social services on a single site. The architects wished to offer both an urban response by revitalizing a formerly isolated lot and a long term solution\u00a0by employing local skills as well as local materials.\u00a0The lot designated for the city\u2019s social and cultural center was isolated, its location removed from the flow\u00a0of the street. From the outset, this posed a problem for the project\u2019s visibility and access to the site. To underscore the public purpose of this facility, the architects chose to reorganize the street plan by broadly opening the site to the city, creating\u00a0a link between city center and the residential district to the north. Pedestrian cross traffic is\u00a0encouraged\u00a0by the creation of a\u00a0new public plaza. The architects chose to divide their proposal into two distinct buildings. These L-shaped constructions form the border\u00a0of the new public plaza toward which\u00a0their entrances are oriented, and allow for a pathway running through the site.
\nThe two virtually identical buildings echo the vocabulary of the typical Normandy farmhouse. They are a contemporary interpretation of the solidity of this archetypal construction, with their optimized and exposed wooden frames.
