At Toulouse, in the department of Haute-Garonne, the organization Caso Patrimoine completed a new building called Les Bureaux Labéda in 2024. The structure covers 1,162 square meters and was built with a budget of 2.4 million euros. Located in the city center, the site is on the busy Lazare Carnot Boulevard, which links Boulingrin Square and the Pierre Goudouli garden. This area is part of Toulouse's historical western center, known for its rich heritage and growing appeal. The city's central area benefits from its proximity to the train station, the increasing attractiveness of the Toulouse metropolitan region, and the quality of life that the hyper-center offers. Toulouse, with its strong local and European influence, has a city center deeply rooted in its history. The area around Les Bureaux Labéda is highly urbanized, surrounded by notable landmarks such as the City Theatre, Saint-Georges Church, Capitole Square, and Saint-Étienne Cathedral. One side of the building faces the Lazare Carnot Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in the city center, while the other side faces Labeda Street, near the City Theatre. The design of the building respects the urban character of the area, particularly its use of brick and red tones, which are hallmarks of Toulouse's architectural identity. The project was designed in two phases. First, a structure was built along the edge of the site, with a depth of 13.70 meters, following local urban planning regulations. In a second phase, the building rises to the level of the surrounding buildings’ foundations. The final form consists of two embedded rectangles that connect the boulevard and Labeda Street. The building includes a discreet roof terrace for technical rooms, positioned away from the facades to reduce visual impact. The building's program includes a restaurant on the ground floor, offices on the upper floors, and the terrace and technical rooms on the roof. The urban design includes a permeable courtyard paved to allow for the planting of a tree, which will provide shade and enhance the restaurant terrace during hot weather. The building's facades are designed to preserve the horizontal lines typical of Toulouse's architecture while incorporating vertical elements to reinforce its urban presence. The base of the building is slightly taller and features full-height aluminum windows, aligning it with the decorative elements of nearby structures. The upper levels continue the horizontal lines of the street, with the glass cornice creating a rhythmic pattern on the facade. Different treatments are used on the two sides of the building, with the Labeda Street side having a more distinct base and the Lazare Carnot Boulevard side featuring a more urban, rhythmic facade. The use of Savès brick and corten-colored aluminum adds to the building’s aesthetic and integrates it into the city's traditional color palette.
