PHOTOGRAPHY BTS AT LYCÉE ANDRÉ MALRAUX – CONVERSION OF THE VILLA DES ACANTHES IN BIARRITZ

The project involves converting the Villa des Acanthes, a building with classical mouldings, to house the photography BTS programme of Lycée André Malraux.
In addition to refurbishing the existing building while preserving its current architecture, the project includes an underground extension so as not to detract from the character of the villa.
The additions required to meet the various standards, such as staircases and access ramps, are designed in light ironwork to limit their impact on the building.
