Favourite (interior)architecture project

For the museum Louvre Lens, situated in the old mine region (UNESCO) of Pas-de-Calais in France, the design office SANAA integrated the historical environment where nature had taken over since 1960. The building’s modest character deepens the seamless transitions from the landscape into the interior. As an envelope, the site reflects its seasonal surrounding in order to exhibit from both outside as inside the valuable patrimony for its inhabitants and visitors.
