This project, part of the Stanislas Meurthe designated development area (ZAC) in Nancy, extends the water garden designed by Alexandre Chemettoff. The theme of a natural planted landscape provides the common thread for this real estate programme that includes 91 housing units and shops. The project harmoniously integrates into its environment while creating openings and perspectives that provide an emphatic transition between the new designated development area district and the historic town centre. The three buildings surrounding a landscaped garden are clad with wooden shutters that, as they are slid open and closed, provide the façades with a sense of dynamic movement.
