Practice is one of three teams in running for Musée du Grand Siècle project

Stanton Williams has revealed it is in the running to deliver a €90m Paris museum dedicated to the art of the 17th century.

The Musée du Grand Siècle project will transform the former Sully Barracks at the Parc de Saint-Cloud, around six miles from the centre of the French capital.

Stanton Williams developed its proposals with local practice Architecture Patrick Mauger and conservation specialist Pierre-Antoine Gatier. The joint bid seeks to restore and creatively reimagine the listed barracks, a former military ensemble set within the 17th century park, which was designed by landscape architect Andre Le Nôtre.
