An essential question underpins Tolbiac: what does it mean to inhabit?
Here, housing is no longer a standardized cell or the cold calculation of saleable floor area. It becomes a space in which to grow, to dream, and to look toward the horizon.
The project seeks to soothe metropolitan agitation without erasing it, offering each resident a refuge that remains open to the city. Between mineral materiality and living matter, light sculpts the volumes and reveals textures. Interstitial spaces become places of encounter, circulation areas become landscapes, and balconies turn into inhabited horizontals. The built form breathes, engages in dialogue with the site’s history, and embraces the diversity of ways of living. Here, the hut and the palace are reconciled.
A place where one inhabits the world.
