Logements

Logements

The strength of the project lies in the quality of the space generated by the building, in continuity. The best architectures, especially if they are urban, are not the most expensive but, precisely, those that promote relationships between their inhabitants. Like the neighboring plots, the search for an alternation in its materiality allows to give the plot a strong identity.
The shifts of altimetry in the facade ensure coherence with the neighboring houses and the differences in the setbacks allow to diversify the implantation of the buildings in relation to the road, thus respecting the desiderata of the city. The whole materialized on the basis of a simple and rational plan, rich as well as functional.
The dwellings are composed in 3 volumes. The first one marks the main entrance by the rue des Ruffins, the second one accompanies the inhabitant along his path inside the plot and the third one allows to formalize the perspective background of this path.

The three volumes are treated by alternating the same materials to achieve a coherent urban ensemble on the scale of the plot, clearly identifiable and structuring.
One of the ambitions of the architectural project is to make the dwellings adequate to the needs – present and future – of the families who will live in them. Another challenge lies in the desire to combine the advantages of the plot and the linear building to create a model of intermediate housing, making it possible to group together different housing typologies. Playing on the writing and the spatial configuration, this vocabulary makes it possible to create for each building its own identity while preserving the harmony of the whole.
