atelier filippini: maison des ensembles
hidden from street view, the building has a 'staged implementation' - its facade acts as an interface with the city and passers-by. all the existing facades are double glazed except on ground floor. they form a translucent filter between interior corridors and the street.

‘maison des ensembles’ by renato filippini all photos by jérôme epaillard
french architect renato filippini of atelier filippini has sent us images of his recently completed project ‘maison des ensembles’. located in paris, in the district of aligre, the project is a renovation of two heritage buildings.
the contemporary building includes multipurpose spaces and a music room. hidden from street view, the building has a ‘staged implementation’ – its facade acts as an interface with the city and passers-by. all the existing facades are double glazed except on ground floor. they form a translucent filter between interior corridors and the street. in accordance with the facade development, rectangular frames become detached to form bow-windows, integrating a broadcast – the heartbeat of the ‘maison des ensembles’ with image projection screens.
