In Bordeaux, the transformation of the Hôtel des Ventes des Chartrons breathe new life into this historic building. Designed with architectural recycling principles, minimising demolition, the project reimagines this structure for dual purposes: a higher education institution and an auction hall.

 

Les Chartrons, a neighbourhood with character
Located on the quays of the Chartrons district, just north of the historic city centre, the site is part of an urban landscape shaped by the river and the commercial history of this former wine merchant suburb. Positioned behind the warehouses, the building boasts a unique linear architecture with substantial surface area.

Recycling a rational tool-building
Notable for its atypical façade and set-back positioning, 136 Quai des Chartrons is a key heritage structure along the quays. Originally intended for logistical and industrial use, the building's intelligent construction serves as the foundation for the project. Its rational structure, proportions, layout, and position of openings demonstrate its ability to adapt and transform with ease. The new project blends the existing elements with a vision that respects heritage while embracing bold modernity.

Reversibility of the existing structure
The project integrates into the original skeleton, using the structural grid of cast iron columns and concrete floors, providing the spatial conditions to house both programs. The ground floor retains the auction activity, while the upper floors accommodate the educational program. Transforming the building into an educational institution involves defining room types and communal spaces that fit the existing structure. The large existing floors offer significant spatial modularity. A "central street" runs the length of the building, providing access to study rooms and offices on each side. Structural and technical interventions are necessary, such as creating large openings in the floors for staircases suited to the new traffic flows and adding features to bring light into the heart of the building.

New Use, New Appearance
The building’s evolution is particularly shown in the façades. On the quay side, the historic, robust stone façade is restored and enhanced with landscaped forecourt improvements. On the city side, a contemporary extension reshapes the façade, reflecting the transformation. This architectural addition, technically complex, allows for the creation of a suspended amphitheatre offering a panoramic view of the urban landscape. The materiality is distinct, reinforcing the concept of a dual-faced architecture, balancing both the river and the city.
