Le Marais

Located in the heart of the Marais district, this innovative project aims to transform the iconic neighborhood into a vibrant, multifunctional urban ecosystem. Bringing together renowned talents such as Rem Koolhaas and his agency OMA, the Data agency, Ciguë, and Jamie Fobert, Citynove serves as a laboratory where heritage and modernity seamlessly intertwine.

Far from being a mere juxtaposition of buildings, this initiative envisions a fluid, modular space designed to adapt to the evolving needs of the city. Rem Koolhaas / OMA and Data contribute a bold, experimental vision; Ciguë brings a refined and precise approach to materials; and Jamie Fobert infuses the project with luminous, poetic architecture.

This large-scale endeavor redefines urban planning by placing people at its core, crafting a neighborhood where every space integrates organically into the urban fabric. With Citynove, the Marais emerges as an inspiring model of urban revitalization, blending innovation with a deep respect for its heritage.

We needed a radical project to respond to the modular dimension of the project. While the artistic presence is palpable, the production activity will not be visible to the public.
