HAPPY NANCY
Old and new, incomplete and finished, stone and metal...
The red ribbon of an oxymoronic site with a unique history was cut in the spring of 2023 in Nancy - that of Nancy Thermal,
an XXL establishment dedicated to wellbeing, set in the heart of Parc Sainte-Marie.
Started in 1917 and completed in 2023, it attracts visitors as much for its sleek lines as for its exceptional services.
WELLBEING WITH GILDED DOORS
The project was born out of a desire to let everyone enjoy the benefits of a natural spring welled 800 meters underground. After the outbreak of World War One, the first stone blocks of Nancy Thermal found themselves abandoned for more than a century.
Thanks to the responsible vision of multiple award-winning architect Anne Démians, the old began a dialog with the new, and resuscitated the project. The original building creates a symmetry with the new construction, creating a composite architecture. The lines, colors and materials oppose each other in a desired negative effect. The buildings thus melt into the surrounding gardens and bodies of water. The ensemble is topped by three domes stretching the buildings skywards. A place steeped in history and modernity which opened its doors for people to take the waters in 2023.
