[Paris] River Champagne Bar
Firm
STATUS
Concept
In Collaboration with Evaggelos Dimitrakopoulos
The champagne bar is situated in the heart of Paris at the intersection of an invisible axes network which links cultural landmarks of Paris, such as Orsay Museum, Centre Pompidou, Notre Dame and the Louvre Museum. This element in combination with Pei's Pyramid, the bas-relief of plot and the hypsometric difference led us to design a bridging of Louvre with Seine using a dynamic geometry.
This slope aims to restore the natural landscape with artificial means. Attributes to Paris an urban bank that will function as a multifunctional gathering space. Apart from the restoration of the riverside another focal point has been the re-definition of horizon line attributing this broadness of field that was lost in urban skyline.
During the last centuries Seine has been transformed into a strictly urban river with vertical stone banks. Our proposal is trying to recreate a natural slope which links the city with the river. A ramp is driving people to a balcony with a panoramic view on the river. This circulation aims to reinvent a public space on top of our champagne bar.
The green roof is punctured from preexisting trees. The use of planted lofts and the general aid of existing planting, aims to improve microclimate and also reduce structure’s ecological footprint. Bioclimatically, the apertures in the roof beyond the improvement of natural light levels allow better air circulation.
The interior space design was guided by two sovereign significances, the excavation pit and the idea of city’s palimpsest. The archaeological excavation during 80’s has revealed , under Cour Caree, the foundation of the fortress built by Philippe Auguste and other Remains of the medieval Louvre. This fact of multileveled city constituted the arrest for earthworks.
The alternation of levels, was rendered feasible to discover step by step the bar and simultaneously make it possible to have eye contact with the river from all points of interior space. It is worth to be reported that one of the sovereign elements of space internally are the chandeliers that crown bars. The concept of these light features was a reference to a bunch of grapes but also the bubbles of champagne foam.
We are creating a deep threshold, a built dialogue which gives answer to a number of dipoles, city-river, archaeological-contemporary, bar-museum, earth-water. Our basic intention was to create a contemporary bar which will present similarity to materiality to its adjacent cityscape.
This slope is attuned to its surroundings whilst at the same time, make its presence distinctive in the cityscape. This new structure stands in a symbiotic way along the river and establishes a built dialogue with its backdrops.
