JDS Architects have been selected among four other architect offices to participate in a competition for the new art school and creative space in Nantes, France. The project takes part of the new masterplan of Ile de Nantes and is going to be a rehabilitation of Halles Alstom. This warehouse, a symbol of the industrial past of the city, is going to be transformed into an art school and augments the creative district, fostering an architecture school and a graphic design office.

JDS Architects have been commissioned by ICADE to design two social housing buildings in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. The projects take part of the new OMA/FAA/XDGA masterplan on Boulevard Calberson MacDonald in order to rehabilitate the longest building of Paris. This new development consist of the addition of a new layer on the existing building:a lower layer of an existing warehouse and parking space rehabilitated in office and an upper platform intended to contain new apartment buildings of various architects.

Andrew Griffin and Barbara Wolff will be attending this years 2010 MIPIM ceremony at Cannes, France. For potential business meetings, please contact andrew@jdsa.dk for appointments and inquiry.
