Located in the northern districts of Marseille, , Les Fabriques is a complex by Brenac & Gonzalez & Associés designed as a compact, climate-responsive structure built from solid . Positioned on a constrained plot within the Littorale urban development zone, the project integrates a nursery school and an elementary school, each with dedicated reception areas, circulation routes, and naturally lit and ventilated classrooms.

Facing the main square of the neighborhood, the school complex presents itself as the landmark of a new centrality. Its strategic position makes this facility a real urban and architectural challenge for the city and its future development. The volumes create a landscape of roofs and vertical elements reminiscent of a village. This universe stands out from the surrounding residential buildings and highlights the programmatic richness of the facility, making it a unique architectural event.

Brighton Girls, founded in 1876, sought to consolidate all its facilities on one site, significantly reimagining the potential of its listed buildings.
