On this site with strong contrasts in which several scales are mixed and through its landscaped character, the conception of 60 social housing units required an integration permitting a negotiation that is both spatial and organizational. The organization of the built masses responds to a multi-typological logic that fits with its surrounding fabric. On one hand, the project aims at consolidating the fabric of single-family houses through sparsely sited housing units to reinforce the global identity of the nearby area. On the other, the rest of the units are organized around two volumes that negotiate a gradual change in scale.
We therefore designed a residential unit of houses in strips and small apartment houses that create a planted continuum intended for public use.
So as to preserve the existing hydrology, the project was designed as a global ecosystem in which the architectural and landscape systems are mixed with technical choices in order to make a whole that is coherent and qualitative.
The building were built with a wooden structure and with most of the materials biosourced to strengthen the biodiversity on the site and decrease the energy impact of the operation. The project proposes a discreet architecture that serves a landscape with the presence of several systems making it possible to establish several way of inhabiting that strongly resonate with its context
