Guillot support both public and private sector clients, specialising in public sector projects of cultural importance. The firm offers a full service and can support clients from conception to completion. Nicolas is particularly proud of the Varsarely project, which he dis- cusses in detail. The project embodies the firm’s mission: to create minimalistic architecture for the maximum effect. “The “Vasarely Space” presents itself as a large elongated monolith that follows the curve of the streets. “The main, fully glazed facade turned to an elongated square reaching the opposite end of the site. The transparency of the project gives the appearance of the structure of the building and domestic activities. The rear to cut volumes composed landscape ambience with a garden facing the embankment of the railway “The Interior is composed of several venues, four music studios, one dance room and five associative rooms, allowing for multiple functions to be held at the same time.” Looking ahead, Nicolas outlines the firm’s future plans, which will allow the firm to enrich its knowledge and experience. “Currently we are working on an auditorium to Paris, a theatre towards Dijon, a Museum in Lyon, a cultural space to Chambéry, a University in Clermont Ferrand, a multimedia library to Toulon, and a residential property in Bourg. These projects are all very exciting and we look forward to the opportunities they will provide us.” agence d’architectures Nicolas C.
