A strategic location

Located in Asnières, at the crossroads of Ménil and Robert Dupont streets, this low-carbon housing project is affirmed by a controlled architectural duality. Built in CLT wood on a concrete base, it is part of a responsible constructive approach.

Two facades, two identities

Rue du Ménil, the building is inserted into the Faubourian fabric thanks to a brick coating and a set of loggias dug into the facade.
This device rhythms the linear while saving more intimate outdoor spaces, adapted to the narrowness of the street.
Rue Robert Dupont, on the other hand, the facade is adorned with a light coating and develops a more open vocabulary: suspended balconies, wide openings, greening. This more open street, better oriented, lends itself to generous devices that animate the facade and enhance the quality of use.

A contextual architecture

The materiality of the operation meets the constraints of the site: it composes both with the adjoining of a quality old building and the operation in the making located opposite.
The treatment of the angle, a strategic position between the two streets, is the subject of a specific design taking advantage of this unique situation.

Inhabited and green facades

The flowing balconies on the Robert Dupont Street side are accompanied by a greening system that also serves as a visual filter between dwellings.
These devices offer residents qualitative extensions and help beautify public space.
