NEAR THE TREE
Sergio Grazia

17 HOUSING UNITS, Villefranche-sur-Saône

At the gateway to the Beaujolais vineyards, the project contributes to the qualification of one of the city's entrances. The location of the project is defined by the preservation and enhancement of the existing landscape heritage. The corolla of trees defines the pentagonal shape of the building and gives it its architectural identity. The building has qualitative housing, both by their orientation and their typology. All of the apartment plans offer generous living rooms extended by large outdoor spaces. The materials used are sober, timeless and durable. The concrete façade is stained in warm tones. It has a faded red color that complements the dominant green.
