Caen TGV Station Silo Parking

The architecture makes a powerful statement. The long, slender volume is striated with vertical black blades. These elements create a kinetic vibration that shifts with the light and the viewpoint. White boxes, distributed across the façade, mark the entrances and provide rhythm to the whole. Inside, colorful signage extends the building’s graphic identity.

As an architectural photographer in Caen, I was commissioned to document the parking silo Banks of the Orne, designed by the agency LA/BAThis building marks the urban landscape and plays a key role in coordinating the city’s mobility..

Its strategic location in the immediate vicinity of the TGV station makes it a major convergence point.

This report also highlights the relationship between the building and its surroundings. Street, sidewalk, facade, and vegetation were all designed together. Visually, I sought to illustrate this dialogue between infrastructure, public space, and urban flow.

My mission: to translate this tension between structural rigor and plastic elegance. I worked on cast shadows, bursts of natural light, and the lines of the cladding. I paid particular attention to the architectural elements: staircases, moldings, and materials.

The goal was to reveal the intention behind every detail.
