Innovative and inspiring: two words that perfectly define the L'Oiseau Lyre school group. Innovative in its educational approach, developed from Nordic models, and in its construction approach, which intelligently combines wood solutions to create a framework conducive to the development of children. Inspiring in the layout of its volumes, which gently integrates it into the landscape of the banks of the Marne while connecting it to the life of the neighborhood through community spaces open to the city. Also inspiring on an environmental level, since the positive energy building, in addition to making massive use of wood, multiplies virtuous initiatives with, among other things, the use of geothermal and photovoltaic energy, the recovery of rainwater, the abundance of natural light, the selection of A or A+ finishing materials... An ode to "living in wood", L'Oiseau Lyre was awarded the 2023 Île-de-France Regional Wood Construction Prize and is also popular with children, who awarded it the P'tits Archis Schools Prize.

The school complex is characterized by spaces in staggered superposition, with different functions and room sizes from one floor to another. The wood, which forms all the superstructures, allows for the modulation of frames and spans according to the complexity of load-bearing requirements. The main skeleton rests on a glued laminated timber frame, accompanied by CLT floors and timber-framed or CLT walls for the partition walls. The playgrounds that cover certain parts of the building are supported by floor boxes made of Kerto® LVL which, with mechanical, fire and acoustic performance comparable to a conventional floor, allows for significant material savings and therefore a better environmental impact.
A biophilic asset, wood is also very present in interior design, covering ceilings, walls, stairs and steps in order to create a healthy and serene atmosphere from an acoustic point of view.
