Galerie Saint-Roch

The transformation of a former printing house into a contemporary art foundation, retaining the industrial depth of the building while introducing a precise sequence of daylit galleries.

Rather than erasing the existing structure, the project treats it as a found object. Concrete frames, brick party walls and traces of former machinery remain visible behind new lime surfaces. A saw-tooth roof brings controlled northern light into the central gallery, while a blackened-steel stair forms the only assertive new element. The result is a robust and adaptable cultural setting with a distinctly Parisian intimacy.
