The Communaut\u00e9 de communes Saulieu-Morvan, in France, has launched an international competition for the creation of its new civic headquarters in the heart of Saulieu, C\u00f4te-d\u2019Or. Located between Rue Gambetta, Rue des Fours, and Rue du Tour des Foss\u00e9s, the project seeks to consolidate administrative functions into a single, accessible, and contemporary facility. The brief calls for a one-storey building providing clear organisation, generous daylight, and comfortable working conditions, while preserving elements of the existing urban fabric such as a street-front boutique and a historic passage connecting to the medieval ramparts.<\/p>\n
Beyond its functional role, the project aims to reinforce Saulieu\u2019s historic centre through careful architectural integration and sustainable design. The programme includes modern offices, a trial retail space, and provision for a future dwelling, embedded in a landscaped pedestrian \u201cvenelle\u201d that threads through the site. With a construction budget of \u20ac2.48 million, the community seeks proposals that combine architectural clarity, environmental responsibility, and civic presence, setting a benchmark for public architecture in the Morvan region.<\/p>","location":"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/LVLn5UcQC5vGL1Vw9","sector":["Commercial \/ Civic Building \/ Offices"],"intervention":["New Build and Renovation"],"website":"https:\/\/ted.europa.eu\/en\/notice\/-\/detail\/589402-2025","tender_portal":"https:\/\/www.e-marchespublics.com\/appel-offre\/bourgogne-franche-comte\/cote-d-or\/saulieu\/1117096\/2599#tabs-5","tender_stage":"Qualification for design competition","deadline":"7 Oct 2025","contract_type":"","project_valuescale":"\u20ac2.48 million","consultant_team":"Architect (lead)
