建筑事务所LAN、Abinal & Ropars和Atelier Stéphane Fernandez共同完成了位于法国南斯（Nantes）的北极星新区（Polaris district）的规划设计项目。项目的基地面积高达1.51公顷（3.70658英亩），朝向卢瓦尔河（Loire River）和Brossette公司仓库的旧址。如今，基地上已建成了六座全新的综合大楼，其中包括了一座高18层的360°全景塔楼。

The architecture firms of LAN, Abinal & Ropars and Atelier Stéphane Fernandez deliver the new Polaris district in Nantes. This 1.5-hectare lot (3.70658 acres), facing the Loire River and the former site of the Brossette Company’s warehouses, is now home to six new, mixed-use buildings, one of which is a panoramic 18-story tower.

北极星新区是三家建筑事务所合作的成果。建筑事务所LAN首先确定了新区的总体规划和城市设计的主要原则和纲领。随后，他们作为项目主导的建筑事务所，与其余两家建筑事务所——Abinal& Ropars和Atelier Stéphane Fernandez合作，共同完成了本项目。

项目基地位于几个井井有条的城市系统的交叉点上。在这种混杂的环境背景下，北极星新区内的建筑体量肩负着一个重要的使命，那就是不仅要确保这些城市系统的连续性，更要使它们能够和谐地交织在一起。

Polaris is the fruit of collaborative design effort with LAN originating the master plan and the main urban principles governing the development. They also were the lead architecture firm working with Abinal et Ropars and Atelier Stéphane Fernandez.

The site is located at the intersection of several formal systems. In this heterogeneous context, the new Polaris city block plays a pivotal role of ensuring continuity and the harmonious intersection of these systems.

北极星新区还包括了Vatel酒店管理学院的新校址。校区的总面积高达10,000平方米（107,639平方英尺），其中包括了一系列教室空间、一座校园餐厅、一间小酒馆、一家对外开放的咖啡厅以及一座容纳了300套公寓的学生宿舍楼。在校区之外，本项目还容纳了250个居住单元、总面积接近6,500平方米的办公空间和600平方米的附属活动空间等，这些空间分布在场地的各处。值得一提的是，建筑师对项目中的共享空间进行了精心的设计，置身于这些共享空间内，人们可以在毫无遮挡的情况下肆意地欣赏远处城市历史中心区的天际线。

Polaris is home to the new 10,000-m² campus (107,639 ft²) of the Vatel Hospitality School. The campus is comprised of classrooms, a teaching restaurant, a brasserie, a café open to the public, as well as a student residence with 300 apartments. The program also includes another 250 housing units, approximately 6,500 m² of offices and 600 m² for additional activities which are distributed among the various lots of the development. Each shared space is designed to enable unobstructed perspectives of the distant skyline of the city’s historic center.
