A city center undergoing renewal<\/strong> After much reflection and consultation, Saint-Gr\u00e9goire is preparing to transform its center. With La Forge, the city is embarking on a gentle and ambitious metamorphosis: that of a green, commercial, and tranquil city center. Supported by the city and designed by the agency, this master plan aims to reconnect everyday uses and activities and breathe new life into the urban heart of Saint-Gr\u00e9goire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A project by and for users<\/strong> How to get around, meet up, stop or play? Each development decision responds to these practical questions. The project redesigns pedestrian routes,\u00a0balances active mobility and access<\/strong>, and incorporates a large multi-purpose square capable of hosting markets, terraces, or events. At the center, a modular public pavilion open to community and cultural life will become the living heart of this new shared space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
The master plan as a manifesto<\/strong> For Jean-Pierre L\u00e9v\u00eaque, associate architect and urban planner at the agency, \u201cthe master plan is a tool for listening and projecting.\u201d Here, it structures the redevelopment around two major changes: strengthening the commercial character and creating a dense urban canopy, a veritable green and shaded network. The hard, mineral shopping center is gone: in its place is a lively, breathing Forge, where each tree becomes a landmark and every pathway an invitation to stroll.<\/p>\n\n\n
Architecture of continuity<\/strong> The master plan weaves links between the surrounding neighborhoods: Rue Milon, Duchesse Anne, Blavet. The buildings are aligned with the heights of the existing urban fabric, ensuring a smooth transition. \u201cWe designed the square based on the paths of desire,\u201d says Jean-Pierre L\u00e9v\u00eaque, referring to the spontaneous routes taken by residents. Here, urban planning becomes sensitive: it follows the topography, respects memory, and fits into the continuity of the landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An ecology of the city<\/strong> With its 10,720 m\u00b2 of permeable ground and a canopy index of 35%, La Forge is establishing itself as a model of sustainable urban planning. Open drainage channels, local species, natural materials, green roofs: each layer of vegetation contributes to climate regulation and biodiversity. \u201cToday, it is the environment that guides our hand,\u201d says the architect\u2014a strong statement of an approach that combines aesthetics and ecology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
