Davout Lagny

70 social housing units + 3 crèches + 1 library + 1 association space + Basement parking

The Davout Lagny block, located in the south of the 20th arrondissement, is included in the perimeter of the Great Urban Renewal Project at Porte de Montreuil. Inexpensive inter-war homes, green spaces, make up an urban fringe landscape. The program proposes a moderate densification compared to the potential of the site.

Beyond a notion of densification, the idea of ​​a qualitative restructuring of the whole is more correct. The logic of the building's layout results from three issues: the relationship with the existing / the relationship with public space / the quality of the heart of the island linked to a work of residentialization. To this is added a programmatic mix, which requires work on protections, accesses, limits ... It is therefore a project of composition, of interrelations. Each element is defined, specified in multiple relationships.

The layout of the accommodation is strongly influenced by the following qualitative aspects:
> recuperation of the south for living spaces + outdoor spaces, management of vis-à-vis, ventilation and orientation of housing, views offered to residents.
> 100% of dwellings have a double or triple orientation
> 100% of dwellings recover the south in the main living room
> 100% of dwellings have an outdoor area to the south as an extension of the living space.
