La marquise Bon Conseil

The Marquise Bon Conseil pro­ject, desi­gned by the firm Loci Anima, is an archi­tec­tu­ral ini­tia­tive loca­ted in the heart of Nantes. This pro­ject aims to revi­ta­lize and moder­nize the city cen­ter by intro­du­cing an ico­nic struc­ture: a canopy ser­ving as a visual land­mark and crea­ting a des­ti­na­tion shel­te­red from view, while encou­ra­ging foot traf­fic.

An inte­gra­ted and sym­bo­lic archi­tec­ture
The design of the canopy har­mo­niously inte­grates with the exis­ting archi­tec­ture, esta­bli­shing a connec­tion with a land­mark buil­ding desi­gned by archi­tect Roux Spitz. This approach high­lights Loci Anima’s com­mit­ment to res­pec­ting and enhan­cing heri­tage while brin­ging a touch of moder­nity.
