Abstract

The article focuses on Atelier Régis Roudil Architectes, an architectural practice based in Aix-en-Provence, known for its innovative use of natural materials, particularly rammed earth. The firm recently completed a crèche in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, commissioned by the French presidency, which emphasizes sustainability, heritage, and security. The design features rammed-earth structures sourced locally, a flexible playspace, and a green roof, all crafted with a commitment to high-performance materials that enhance thermal efficiency. The project exemplifies the practice's philosophy of using noble materials that connect closely to the land, showcasing refined details that elevate the building's humble materials.
