Following the model of organic structures

The Institution de Lavigny, a charitable foundation, specialises in the care of people with neurological disorders. The existing buildings are complemented by the new construction.

The planning is based on analogies with organic structures. Each of the three cells is designed with its specific function in mind - and fits rigorously into the structure as a whole. The site is designed in such a way that new cells can be added.

The three buoyant-looking pavilions form an entrance and reception area reminiscent of an open hand. The room geometry with its striking, open angles allows staff to quickly gain sight of the various living spaces - in the interests and for the protection of the patients.
