New Work ::: The Josephine Baker School

Built on a trapezoid-shaped plot of land in La Courneuve a Parisian suburb, the €8m Josephine Baker School is a modern early education facility for nursery and elementary ages. Designed by architects Dominique Coulon & Associés the 6,500m² building recalls a pair of demolished housing blocks by merging the playgrounds for the older children and that reserved for the younger children.
