Cuisine de l hôpital Saint-Antoine. Architect Henri Ciriani. Blog#8.

This is the St. Antoine Hospital Kitchen located in Paris, France. This building was designed by architect Henri Ciriani and was completed in 1985.

The building  features a courtyard and utilizes brick and glass block as its primary construction materials. Ciriani applied his signature approach to architecture in the St. Antoine Hospital Kitchen by “carefully maintaining the street line with cut-outs and a framing device at the upper levels that forms a screen to the building behind.”  These elements are in many of his modern buildings he has designed.

Ciriani’s design for the St. Antoine Hospital Kitchen was nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture (EU Mies Award) in 1988.
