The buildings fit into the backdrop of Marseille through “continuity with public spaces and views of the surrounding streets.” The architecture of Marseille is characterized by the intersection of indoor and outdoor spaces. The Institute also utilizes concrete overhangs and intimate green spaces to create a “softness” for the users.

At the ground floor, the central courtyard serves as a continuation of the main entrance. It is designed to be the “town’s extension into the heart of the Institute”. On the other hand, the more urban courtyard in the research building is an “animation” of the boulevard. All the rooftops of the buildings are programmed to benefit from views of the sea, the town and mountains.
