Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande Town Hall

The Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande Town Hall reconsiders the relationship between civic building and public square. Conceived as an accessible urban landmark rather than a monumental institution, the compact volume is framed by two forecourts and wrapped in perforated metal façades that temper daylight and reveal the interior at night. Warm timber finishes, a double-height public hall, patios and generous glazed openings support clear circulation and connect municipal services to the rhythms of everyday civic life.
