3 moulins, Antibes

The ​“Les Trois Moulins” pro­ject in Antibes, desi­gned by the firm Loci Anima, repre­sents an inno­va­tive approach to peri-urban deve­lop­ment. Located in the Trois Moulins Economic Activity Zone, near the Sophia Antipolis tech­no­logy park, this pro­ject is part of a sus­tai­nable deve­lop­ment stra­tegy aiming for har­mo­nious inte­gra­tion with the local land­scape.

Architecture ins­pi­red by ancient forms
Loci Anima’s ​“inha­bi­ted land­scape” concept draws ins­pi­ra­tion from ancient archi­tec­tu­ral forms to create a ​“city” with its ​“alleys.” This orga­ni­za­tion seeks to balance human acti­vity zones and natu­ral spaces, while encou­ra­ging the crea­tion of micro-pola­ri­ties within the site. The buil­dings are desi­gned to blend har­mo­niously into their envi­ron­ment, echoing the local bio­tope and the dis­tant yet present hori­zon.
