Paris, France
25 dwellings, retail and working spaces
Commisioned study
In progress

The theme of the project is the "apartment building", the most common element of the Parisian urban landscape. We decided to question and reinterpret this typology by using a simple, clear and abstract architectural language; both contemporary and in dialogue with the existing context.The project is elementary, sober, surprisingly generic.The new building occupies the site of a former five-story car park. We decided to cut the plot into three parts that are organized around a green courtyard. We concentrated all the activities, which could relate to the surrounding, on the ground floor: a retail space, a lobby that allows access to the inner courtyard and to the apartments, as well as a workshop for local businesses.
