Hôtel Paritculier

French Hotel Particulier

This design for a Parisian Gallery offers public and private access to functions of a Hôtel Particulier. The focus of our program prioritized the sequencing of space while also attempting to regularize geometries along Rue Francois Miron, west of Hôtel de Beauvais. To accomplish this, I looked at several precedents for the typology which aided in servicing a preservation lab, exhibition spaces, and library collection required on the ground and first floor.

Context given for our site—roughly 21,760 sq. ft.
