Carmen Maurice Architecture (CMA) is an architectural firm founded by Carmen Maurice Haëntjens in 2020 based in Vannes works on a wide range of programmes and project scales The agency's clients include local authorities she designs sensitive architecture that resonates with the landscape She pays particular attention to traditional know-how convinced that this exploration can give rise to a more reasoned architecture She experiments with materials in the studio and draws on her experience of building sites to enrich her design concepts making each project a meaningful apparition Her work is part of a global quest in which each project aims to be a constant reference point in space and time embodying shared values capable of bringing us together adapting to our surroundings and inspiring us Archive Architecture Carmen Maurice Architecture’s Mill Renovation and Winery Construction project is a renovation and construction venture that seamlessly blends industrial heritage with contemporary design and involves the restoration of an old mill and its conversion into a functional winery It is notable for its careful integration of modern elements while preserving the historical character of the original mill structure On the « Three Mills» road in Sarzeau one of them is now surrounded by new plantations: 6 hectares of vineyards radiates like a lighthouse in the heart of the vineyards With limited space available for construction the winery project must be situated close to the mill to achieve several objectives: to provide functional buildings to the winemakers to ensure harmonious integration of the project with the surrounding environment of the mill and to create a cultural space connected to agricultural activity The architectural approach is to construct a semi-buried circular building that wraps around the renovated mill A winery is both a space of quiet maturation and a space of sharing and tasting The project embodies these dual aspects: to the east a wall encloses and protects the winery’s operations This is where the winemakers carry out their work the walls of the winery open up to the landscape with two “wings” guiding visitors towards the entrance They provide an unobstructed view of the two neighboring mills and invite visitors to gather in the planted courtyard for outdoor events and tastings This duality is also reflected in the contrast between the building’s interior and exterior the technical nature of the winery is revealed The design embraces an industrial aesthetic The façade is crafted in a more artisanal manner with a unique plaster created for this project evokes the site’s proximity to the ocean The compact building is designed to promote a fluid workflow ensuring the cyclical process of winemaking; from harvesting in the north to bottling in the south The semi-buried design allows for gravitational flow during pressing at harvest time and benefits the cellar with the earth’s thermal inertia The building is also adaptable as it is designed to support operation for over 10 hectares (currently 6 hectares planted); the fermentation area has ample space to accommodate future growth Visitors can observe the winemaking process as they circulate the mill without disrupting the work of the winemakers Project: Mill Renovation and Winery ConstructionArchitects: Carmen Maurice ArchitectureLead Architect: Carmen MauriceLandscape Architect: Antoine Hibou CwancigClient: Commune de SarzeauPhotographers: Guillaume Amat Input your search keywords and press Enter.

On Tuesday, asked to respond to Brailsford’s comments in the aftermath of the Chris Froome salbutamol case, the Frenchman initially said he “didn’t really want to reply” but quickly warmed to the task. “The last person who called me a ‘Breton mayor’ didn’t have much luck. It was Brian Cookson,” he said referring to the former UCI president he ousted in an election last autumn. “By insulting me as mayor, he [Brailsford] insults the 35,000 French mayors and the French in general. Doesn’t he realise that it takes mayors taking stages of the Tour de France for such great events to take place?” Lappartient added. “He doesn’t understand much about cycling. When you are arrogant, sooner or later there will be always something that brings you back down to earth.” On the road the atmosphere seemed less volatile, with Team Sky’s Geraint Thomas suggesting the fans were less hostile, before admitting that it was “hard to tell a ‘boo’ from a ‘Froome’.” If the booing has subsided, the crashes continue. A pile-up five kilometres from the finish split the bunch and left Rigoberto Urán, second in last year’s Tour, frantically chasing with his teammates, although Gaviria’s compatriot did eventually rejoin the main field.

Asssuming their rider survives until Sunday, Craddock will then have to race over 21.7km of cracked and ruptured cobbled roads, known as the ‘Hell of the North’, in the stage to Roubaix. “That will be the hard one,” Vaughters added. “The pain will have had to subside a lot for him to be able to survive that day.” Please note that this is an automated translation and it will not be perfect All articles have been written in English and if anything appears to not make sense The UCI president is facing media scrutiny for his 10 simultaneous roles and proximity to three investigations into suspected corruption A four-man breakaway led from the gun to the flamme rouge but ultimately it was Fernando Gaviria who prevailed in a bunch sprint 10 Jul 201818.27 CESTGeneral Classification Top 10Greg van Avermaet keeps the yellow jersey ahead of his team-mate Tejay van Garderen and Sky’s Geraint Thomas Unconfirmed reports suggest Katusha-Alpecin rider Ilnur Zakarin lost around a minute, while Movistar’s Mikel Landa also lost time. EF Education First–Drapac p/b Cannondale (a team name that really rolls off the tongue) rider Rigoberto Uran also went down, but was able to recover. 10 Jul 201818.09 CESTWhat of Cavendish: It seems the Manx Missile didn’t get a lead-out from his team and was struggling to find a wheel to follow. As the riders approached the finish line he could be seen throwing his arms in the air in frustration as Dylan Groenewegen cut across his racing line. 10 Jul 201818.01 CESTThat crash towards the end: It’s still not clear how many, if any, of the main GC riders were involved in the crash that did for about one third of the peloton just before the four kilometre mark. Stay tuned and I’ll bring you news as it filters through. 10 Jul 201817.55 CESTFernando Gaviria wins stage four!!!The rookie Quick-Step rider wins his second stage of this year’s race beating Peter Sagan and Andre Greipel into the minor placings 10 Jul 201817.52 CEST1km to go: It’s dead straight all the way to the finish as the breakaway group is caught. The sprint is on. 10 Jul 201817.51 CEST1km to go: The breakaway group is about to be caught after a heroic effort to stay away. 10 Jul 201817.51 CEST3 km to go: The gap is 10 seconds. Marcel Kittel, Fernando Gaviria and Mark Cavendish are all well placed near the front of the bunch, unaffected by the crash. 10 Jul 201817.49 CEST4km to go: The gap between what’s left of the bunch (about two thirds of the field) and the breakaway is down to 26 seconds. Mark Cavendish is still well placed, as is Greg van Avermaet. There are little groups of riders pootling along all over the road behind the peloton, trying to get back in touch. 10 Jul 201817.48 CESTA crash in the peloton! Somebody goes down in the peloton and about half the field is forced to stop as the riders sort themselves out. 10 Jul 201817.47 CEST6km to go: The gap is down to 42 seconds as the breakaway group hits a roundabout, riding into a strong headwind. They’re out the country and the road is lined with spectators on either side. 10 Jul 201817.45 CEST7km to go: The breakaway form themselves into a time-trial outfit to give themselves every chance of staying away as riders from Bora Hansrohe take over at the front of the peloton. 10 Jul 201817.43 CEST8km to go: Dimension Data put a man on the front of the group to force the pace as the gap stays at exactly a minute. This is very exciting. 10 Jul 201817.42 CEST10km to go: The breakaway passes under the 10-Kilometre Kite with the gap at 1min 05sec. It’s do-able, but it’ll be tough, not least because of the long, straight finish. In the breakaway, Dimitri Claeys removes his bidon for his cage and gives himself a liberal squirt in the face. 10 Jul 201817.39 CEST11km to go: Marcel Kittel’s Katusha team take up the cudgels at the front of a peloton that finally seems to have realised there’s work to be done if they are to reel in the escapees. 10 Jul 201817.19 CEST27km to go: Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) and Tim De Clercq (Quick Step) tow the peloton along with the gap a steady 2min 47sec. 10 Jul 201817.06 CEST38km to go: The best thing about that Bob Roll clip from the Kelloggs Tour is hearing the wonderful voice of Phil Liggett in his prime,” writes Richard Searle “His voice was the sound of my summers growing up in the 80s and he singlehandedly made me fall in love with the Tour He had his critics in recent years and his unapologetic support for Lane Armstrong grated but when I hear his voice it’s like sprinkling magic dust onto the cycling footage.” 10 Jul 201816.56 CEST45km: There were quite a few big names involved in that crash: Mikel Landa, Robert Gesink, Dan Martin, Bauke Mollema and Jakob Fugslang. They’re all back on their bikes and have rejoined the peloton. 10 Jul 201816.54 CEST47km to go: With the breakaway under control, the peloton slows down to let those involved in the crash catch up with them. Some riders use the slowing down of the peloton to pick up drinks from their team cars, while the four lads in front get to extend their lead again. The gap is 2min 08sec. 10 Jul 201816.47 CEST53km to go: The gap is down to 1min 17sec, with a sprint for bonus seconds available to the first three riders across the 38km-to-go line very much ahoy! Will the seconds go to three of the four men in the breakaway, or will they be reeled in over the next 15 kilometres. 10 Jul 201816.40 CEST58km to go: A moment of controversy as Peter Sagan and another rider – I know not who – appear to have a very full and frank exchange over some unknown matter on the right side of the peloton. Further up the road in the breakaway, Anthony Perez takes the only King of the Mountain point on offer today at St Jean La Poterie. 10 Jul 201816.37 CEST60km to go: The gap is down to 1min 36sec “So glad that Doug mentioned Bob “Bobke” Roll as it gives me an excuse to dig out one of my favourite bits of bike throwing: Bob losing the sprint into Cardiff on the 1987 Kelloggs Tour as he unclips just yards from the line 10 Jul 201816.18 CEST73km to go: The gap is 2min 10sec and the sprinters’ teams have been working to reduce the gap and here’s how they’ve shared the workload The collaboration between the sprinters' teams has already taken the gap down to 2'16" with 74km to go #TDF2018 #TDFdata pic.twitter.com/s0n7JjbWtU 10 Jul 201816.15 CEST76 km to go: Chris Froome has retreated to talk to the team car but no drama That breakaway alliance of Frenchmen and Belgians is now a dwindling 2’ 17” clear By the time it reaches 60km out and a category four climb beckons here’s some footage of that intermediate bunch sprint a few clicks back “I think Cav’s wit is dry, and I like him, but he doesn’t suffer fools, and nor should he. I thought Sagan’s move looks now just as it did then: aggressive, closing a gap that was still there when Cav pulled through it, and the elbow - after contact between both riders - sent him down. “It was reckless and dangerous, and while kicking Sagan off the tour was over the top, being blanked from the stage would’ve been fair. Just as many think Cav gets too much support, Sagan isn’t above criticism, and for all the wheelies and fun interviews, no one should be above reproach. I say this as as a big Sagan fan too. There were no winners on that day.” 10 Jul 201815.53 CEST91km to go: Guillaume van Keirsbulck wins the intermediate sprint at Derval from Dimitri Claeys, Anthony Perez and Jerome Cousin. 10 Jul 201815.49 CEST95km to go: “As today is so boring why not liven up your feed by featuring my #TourDeGif animation project - a daily animated gif of each stage winner,” writes Neil Grunshaw “I thought I’d mirror the suffering of the riders over the next 3 weeks by embarking on an endurance animation project - if anything animation actually involves far more physical suffering than Grand Tour racing 10 Jul 201815.45 CEST99km to go: Nothing continues to happen at great length, although the gap continues to drop. It’s currently at 4min 32sec. All this nothingness has prompted this philosophical query from John Cook. “I’ve always wondered this as a cyclist and as one that doesn’t race,” he says. “What does the peloton do most of the day? Do they have buddies on other teams that they chat up as they go along on days like today? I imagine that for most of the day it’s just a really fast group ride? Or do they have to stay rank and file with their teams?” I suppose, John, it depends on what stage of the stage they’re in and whether or not their team has a man in the breakaway. Early doors, they can probably do what they like, move around the peloton chatting to pals while eating canapes. As the stage approaches its business end, and it’s time to reel in the breakaway, assorted teams start having to get their ducks in a row ahead of the climax. 10 Jul 201815.37 CEST103km to go: Guillaume van Keirsbulck takes a turn at the front of the breakaway group leaning on his handlebars with his forearms his hands crossed in front of him as he gazes ahead of him He looks thoroughly bored as he pedals along at 42 kilometres an hour “The Tour has many traditions and Cavendish having a go at a cameraman seems to have become one of them!” writes Matt Cast when Mark Cavendish had never even ridden a Tour if not his very first interview with a British newspaper.
