"Planned as an adaptive reuse of an industrial harbor structure, the project positions a former port building as a civic cultural facility woven into the maritime edge of the city. The proposal, with its dramatically curving rooftop, treats the existing fabric as a spatial and infrastructural resource, retaining its massing and presence while introducing architectural elements that enable public access and contemporary cultural use."
"The Brise-Vent Havre Harbor Museum, designed by LYT-X Studio, organizes movement as a continuous sequence linking city streets, promenade, and harbor. Circulation routes pass across and through the building, encouraging everyday passage alongside scheduled cultural activity. This approach situates the museum within the wider waterfront network, allowing informal use to coexist with exhibitions and events. A curved roof extension forms a continuous canopy along the water's edge."
The Brise-Vent Havre Harbor Museum repurposes a former industrial harbor structure along Le Havre's waterfront into a civic cultural facility. The design retains the building's massing while adding a dramatically curving rooftop that creates a continuous canopy along the water's edge. Circulation pathways link city streets, promenades, and the harbor, allowing movement across and through the building and supporting everyday passage alongside exhibitions and events. Semi-open spaces and a sheltered courtyard provide land and water access, and the courtyard remains open beyond gallery hours to function as a public civic space. Architectural elements mediate between urban paths and harbor activity.
