Draveil, the first garden city well known to the Impressionists, is rich in a timeless architectural and landscape heritage. The inter-municipal music conservatory contributes to this heritage through the renovation of the Brandt House within a green setting. The creation of a semi-underground extension responds to the current and future needs of musicians and the public while preserving views of the park.
Listed in the inventory of cultural heritage, the 19th-century Maison Brandt serves as the main entrance to the conservatory. Its restoration aims to recover all the components of the original façades in order to highlight this bourgeois architecture. The vestibule, which functions as the main reception area of the music conservatory, reveals the carved stone ornaments (pediment, cornices, pilasters, basins, etc.).
The interior layouts preserve the spirit of the place (volumes, materials, and decorative elements) while providing the services required by the program. On the ground floor are the reception areas, social spaces, and meeting rooms. The central staircase is preserved and leads to the classrooms and training spaces. All south-facing rooms benefit from wide views over the park. To the north, a sequence of circulation spaces forms an acoustic buffer, protecting the conservatory from street noise.
The contemporary extension is one of the project’s key architectural gestures. Semi-buried, it is set back in order to prioritize the landscape and preserve views. Connected by a staircase and an elevator located within the oriel of the 19th-century building, the house and the new construction form a single functional entity. The extension accommodates the multi-ensemble music training hall.
Its large glazed curtain-wall façade allows generous natural lighting while regulating daylight through a carefully designed system of vertical louvers. This opening reveals the stage of a green amphitheater, with grassy tiers carved into the park, where open-air performances can take place during the warmer months.
