设计特色：

项目 - Valode & Pistre 在摩纳哥的海岸线上，通过Mareterra综合体项目，打造了一处惹人注目的海上延伸区域。这座60000平方米的开发项目巧妙地平衡了建筑创新与自然和谐，创造出一个将人工填海造地转变为看似自然形成的独特城市区域。

设计团队以自然海岸线为灵感，精心打造了一个融合陆地与海洋生态系统的空间，在这里，城市扩张与环境保护融为一体。项目最引人注目的特色是其技术壮举：18个钢筋混凝土沉箱，每个高30米、重10,000吨，形成了一道保护屏障，沿着自然-30米等深线延伸，在确保结构稳定的同时维护了水流循环。

项目布局展现了对空间层次的深刻理解，以中央人工山丘为核心，密植石松，创造出视觉焦点与自然过渡。设计团队对居住体验的细致考虑体现在分区规划上：海滨别墅沿水线排布，阶梯式公寓楼层层递进以最大化海景，而南部小型码头区域则围绕着餐厅和零售空间，活化了整个滨水区域。

Mareterra的与众不同之处在于它成功地将以行人为中心的设计理念与奢华居住空间相融合。广阔的公共区域包括海滨长廊、中央广场和茂密的公园绿地，这些元素共同创造了一个真正的城市社区，而非简单的专属住宅区。项目的点睛之笔是由Renzo Piano设计的公寓楼，建在水面上的桩柱上，形成建筑与海洋之间的戏剧性对话，体现了整个项目对创新与和谐的追求。

这不仅仅是一个住宅开发项目，更是一堂生动的课程，展示了建筑设计如何将人工干预转变为与自然和谐共存的环境，为地中海沿岸城市发展树立了新标准。

团队 - Valode & Pistre于1980年由Denis Valode和Jean Pistre创立，已发展成为国际知名的建筑设计事务所，以其"整体一致的设计方法"而闻名。这家总部位于巴黎并在北京设有分支机构的事务所，现由创始人与七位合伙人共同领导，项目遍布法国及全球各地，包括欧洲、亚洲、中东、非洲和中美洲。

该事务所采用全面整合的方法，将多种专业领域汇集在一起：建筑设计、城市规划、室内设计、BIM管理(VP BIM)、施工管理(VPX)、结构与立面研究咨询(VP&Green)以及流体与环境策略研究咨询(Espace Temps)。这种整合结构使Valode & Pistre能够在多种建筑类型中保持卓越的品质控制。

事务所的项目类型多样，包括住宅和混合用途区域、服务业园区和总部大楼、零售和休闲设施、酒店、高层建筑和大型公共设施。他们的设计哲学强调"每个项目都从其环境中汲取养分，并将人置于建筑创作的核心"。设计团队致力于将一个领域的创新与贡献转移到另一个领域，并对生活品质进行深入思考。

Valode & Pistre的创始人均获得过多项荣誉。Denis Valode于1969年获得法国国立高等美术学院建筑文凭，1988年获得建筑学院银奖，1999年与Jean Pistre共同获得建筑学院金奖。Jean Pistre于1974年获得建筑文凭，同样获得过建筑学院银奖和金奖等多项荣誉，并于2011年被任命为斯科尔科沃基金会城市委员会主席，负责莫斯科附近一个大型国际科学中心的创建项目。

在他们四十余年的建筑实践中，Valode & Pistre始终将国际经验视为掌握最现代设计工具和最高环境质量标准的机会，巩固了他们作为对环境敏感、以人为本的建筑创作者的声誉。

Feature:

Project - Valode & Pistre has completed their landmark project - Mareterra Complex in Monaco, reinterpreting the concept of land reclamation through innovative architectural approaches. This 6-hectare development serves both as a residential district and a thoughtfully crafted urban extension that appears completely natural despite its artificial origins.

The project's most distinctive feature is its technical achievement: 18 reinforced concrete caissons, each 30 meters high and weighing 10,000 tons, form a protective barrier that follows the natural -30 meter isobath. This engineering solution maintains critical water circulation patterns while creating a stable foundation in a seismically active region, demonstrating how infrastructure can respect natural systems.

The spatial layout is carefully orchestrated, centered around an artificial hill densely planted with mature stone pines that creates a visual anchor and natural transition. The design creates a harmonious flow through tiered programming: waterfront villas reminiscent of traditional Riviera settlements, apartment buildings rising in tiers to maximize sea views, and a southern marina section activated by restaurants and retail spaces.

The project's uniqueness lies in its pedestrian-focused approach, transforming what could have been an exclusive enclave into a genuine urban district. Through extensive public spaces including a waterfront promenade, central plaza, and lush parkland, the designers have created a space that seamlessly integrates with Monaco's existing urban fabric. The crown jewel is Renzo Piano's apartment building standing on piles above the water, creating a dramatic dialogue between architecture and sea that embodies the project's commitment to innovation and harmony.

Design Team - Founded in 1980 by Denis Valode and Jean Pistre, Valode & Pistre has evolved into a leading international architecture firm known for its comprehensive approach to design. Based in Paris with a subsidiary in Beijing, the practice is now led by the founding partners alongside seven associates, executing projects across France and globally throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Central America.

The firm employs a holistic methodology that integrates multiple disciplines under one roof: architecture, urban planning, interior design, BIM management (VP BIM), construction oversight (VPX), façade engineering (VP&Green), and environmental consultancy (Espace Temps). This integrated structure allows Valode & Pistre to maintain exceptional quality control across diverse typologies.

Their design philosophy emphasizes that "each project is enriched by its setting and places people at the heart of architectural design." The team is committed to transferring innovations between sectors while prioritizing quality of life considerations, approaching each project with fresh perspective while drawing on deep expertise.

The firm's founders have received numerous accolades. Denis Valode received his Architect's Diploma from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in 1969, was awarded the Académie d'Architecture Silver Medal in 1988, and the Gold Medal in 1999 jointly with Jean Pistre. Jean Pistre received his architectural diploma in 1974, shares many of the same honors, and in 2011 was appointed President of the Urban Council of the Skolkovo Foundation, overseeing a major international science center project near Moscow.

Throughout their four-decade practice, Valode & Pistre has consistently viewed international experience as an opportunity to master cutting-edge design tools and the highest environmental quality standards, cementing their reputation as thoughtful creators of contextually responsive architecture that enhances the human experience.
