Emma Smaal's logo is an architectural skyline — each letter of the name SMAAL takes the form of a distinct building.
S — two offset masses connected by a central cutout, like a stepped building with a rooftop stairwell.
M — two towers of different heights linked by a suspended glazed bridge.
A — a gabled building with dormer windows and an arched entrance, referencing Norman architecture.
A — a terraced building with stacked setbacks, like collective housing on a slope.
L — a tower with a cantilevered wing and strip glazing. The structural motif of the L'Envolée project.
The whole composition rests on a shared ground line and a faint construction grid, recalling the tracing paper of architectural drawings.
Located in the Aubette valley, this project proposes a teaching farm structured around a discovery trail that highlights the place and its uses. The project draws on the productive dimension of the territory, offering local services tied to local resources, while integrating lightly into the landscape.
Historical and contextual analysis — aerial photographs (1820–2025), weather diagrams and agricultural mapping
Existing site model — topography, built fabric and vegetation
Territorial section model — reading the landscape strata
Teaching farm: description of uses and intervention strategy
Teaching farm trail plan
Storage spaces: parking shed, livestock shed and teaching shed
