& Associes (surveyor).
The major urban interest of Ilot 4.2 lies in its position: it will act
as a fulcrum between Boulevard Pereire and the new ZAC (Urban Development
Zone), creating a kind of transition between ‘black and white photograph’ Paris and the more
extensive, three-dimensional city beyond.
Ensuring this transition was the core concern underlying our strategy,
which involved trying to understand the fundaments of the Haussmanian typology.
We regard our proposal as a tribute to Paris, to an architecture defined by the
city’s specificity and logic, but with the additional demand of having to
provide solutions to current and emerging problems.
The project’s conception is based on the regularity of its façade.
The interplay of matter and transparency defines the envelope of the
ensemble, which for urban planning reasons has to take up the entire plot, and
therefore have the same ground plan.
Each apartment is organised around a large loggia, an extension of the
interior living space outside. In winter the loggia can be closed to create an
additional living room, despite the cold. In summer the loggia helps ventilate
the interior.
The arrangement of the loggias creates an interplay between matter and
transparency across the facade. Clad with wood, the loggias become its
recognisable elements, enlivening the regularity of the windows, so that the building,
seen from a distance, expresses itself from within, like a colour chart.
The regularity and size of the openings and the ceiling height render
the building’s definition in terms of use ambiguous, and the choice of
structure reinforces this. Only the facades and circulation core are
load-bearing, leaving maximum freedom for the arrangement of each floor. The
building can therefore change use in the future when required.
