Description
Set within a forested site along the Sûre River, the Centre Héliar transforms a former sanatorium into a contemporary reception facility. The project engages in a careful dialogue with the existing early 20th-century structures, preserving their identity while adapting them to current standards. Targeted interventions improve energy performance, circulation and living conditions without altering the overall character. New volumes adopt a restrained contemporary language, ensuring legibility while integrating harmoniously. The project balances heritage, functionality and durability through a precise and respectful transformation.
