The project, located on La Croix Desille, is an educational establishment divided into 3 parts: 1 a post-baccalaureate section with 6 classes for 150 students and a cafeteria. 2 a high school with 10 classes and technical /administrative facilities for 350 students and 3 a sports hall. The three elements are distributed over two floors within a single building and they encompass a glass covered atrium. This central space refers to the glass-covered foyer of the institutions "Maison mere" located in Intramuros and is a real meeting place, a centre for social interaction where everything happens. 

The project interprets the iconic Malouin style, two elements of which are highlighted in its construction. The use of two large beams which serve as the main structural support for the floors and facades and the W-shaped structural element which reproduces the idea of the cranes in the port. The ‘shed type’ glass roof mimics many of the buildings that can be seen around the harbour of Saint Malo. 

The atrium is the buildings’ central distribution point leading to the corridors and covered walkways. It also acts as a "buffer" space, allowing for the regulation of the interior climate (solar gain in winter, cooling and natural ventilation in summer. On the ground floor are the school library, the administration, the sports hall and the cafeteria; the two upper floors house the classrooms and the different areas/workshops linked to specific Baccalaureate courses. 

The gymnasium, part of the high school and also shared with the City, hosts the multi-sports (basketball, handball, volleyball, badminton...) on the ground floor and on the first floor a weight room and a climbing wall. The W-shaped structural motif continues here and permits a suspended volume freeing up the space and opening the gymnasium towards the outside. 

The emphasis is placed on the quality and durability of the building materials and the refined style and colour choices allowed us to limit their multiplication. The use of a single white colour brings to the fore the living and active elements of the project: natural light, trees and plantations, but especially the students themselves. 

The presence of existing trees, of various species, that line the avenue is used, not as a dimensional constraint but as an ‘opening up’ of the landscape towards a future relationship between the project and the development of the "campus" district.
