Description

    Urban Design and Form

     

  • The social housing project features a high-density urban form with diagonally placed square modules, creating oblique sections in the design.
  • The project rejects the right-angled grid, instead taking inspiration from the “proliferating” movement of architects like Jean Renaudie and Renée Gailhoustet, which emphasizes oblique, non-standardized forms.
  •  

    Mixed-Use Ground Floor

     

  • The ground floor facing the street is activated with shopfronts, creating a mixed-use space that contributes to the vibrancy of the community.
  • Passages from the street lead pedestrians into the interior compound, ensuring easy access and flow through the site.
  •  

    Community Facilities

     

  • At the heart of the complex, there are community facilities, such as a meeting room, fostering social interaction and building a sense of community among residents.
  •  

    Terraces and Outdoor Access

     

  • All housing units feature planted terraces at higher levels, designed to bring the outdoors into the homes and provide access to green spaces within the urban form.
  •  

    Housing Design

     

  • The homes are designed with split-levels, optimizing the use of space while enhancing the sense of openness.
  • The design prioritizes daylight, achieved through skylights on the sloped roofs and windows, ensuring that natural light reaches the interior spaces effectively.
