Saturday, September 20, follow the visit of the architect who has rehabilitated the premises of this exceptional religious complex into magnificent housing.
The architecture of the Carmel is a model of brutalist architecture. On the ground given by the Count of Montalembert to the association Kerith, Philippe Lepère is inspired by Le Corbusier to realize 500 m2 of concrete modules painted white.
In 1997, a family of architects settled in the common areas: refectory, chapel and places of prayer. Three families buy the buildings in the park, converted into dwellings.
The architects rehabilitate the Carmel in the respect of the original project, then ask for its classification to the historical monuments.
The inscription in the Additional Inventory of Facades and Roofs was pronounced on 21 November 2001. Register- https://reservations.villeneuvedascq.fr/event/jep-2025
