The project is a commission from OPAC (Paris public planning and construction department), the largest public housing agency in France, for low budget and ecological dwellings, achieving precise social criteria and representing a pioneering approach taken to sustainable development in terms of layout. The housing complex we designed for the site consists of 4 separates buildings, disposed around a central green area. Buildings provide a number of alternative choices of apartment’s types and, in this respect, can be seen to be an assemblage of individual dwellings rather than buildings containing a certain number of apartments.
A specific design, declinable for every plot, made-to-measure, responding to required environmental purposes and composing volumetric variations continuing adjacent surroundings. All of the housing projects are the result of a delicate work of “filtration”: protection from urban noise, openness toward the blocks, orientation according to the position of the sun, orientation of the site. The degree of privacy, a clear spatial organisation and the quality of the interior spaces were also ensured, as well as intellectual, emotional and physical access.
