Thresholds of Sound Thresholds of Sound explores the transformation of the historic Artists’ House through a contemporary architectural extension. The project preserves the identity and memory of the existing building while introducing new spaces for learning, creativity, and community. The design is inspired by two key architectural elements of the existing building: the historic porch and the rhythm of the repeated arch windows. These elements are reinterpreted into a contemporary architectural language that connects old and new through a series of threshold spaces. The project is organized according to different levels of sound. Public and active programs are located near the entrance and courtyard, while quieter spaces for study, recording, and reflection are placed deeper within the building. This creates a gradual transition from social interaction to focused learning. A new extension is placed on the southern side of the site to activate an underused area and strengthen the relationship between the building, landscape, and pond. A gap between the existing and new structures preserves the visibility of the historic facade and allows both architectures to coexist independently. New paving, circulation routes, and outdoor spaces further connect the building to Marronnier Park. Through the reinterpretation of the historic porch, the project creates a dialogue between preservation and intervention. The result is a contemporary cultural environment that respects the memory of the existing architecture while providing a new experience of sound, movement, and community.
