Located in the heart of a private, peaceful passage perched on the highest part of Paris, this project aims to offer a living space completely disconnected from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.
The approach is discreet and understated, while fully respecting its environment. A cubic building with perforated and modular facades is designed, offering complete closure from the outside and a filtered perception from the inside.
With a focus on minimizing the project's carbon footprint, there is a commitment to limit the use of concrete to strictly necessary areas. Thus, between the dwellings, only the separating walls of each unit and all slabs, serving as separation between two floors and therefore two dwellings, are made of concrete, meeting structural and acoustic needs. The building's structure is based on a column-slab system, without beams, ensuring a uniform underside in the interiors. Additionally, a wooden framework is favored for the opaque walls of the project.
The openings are equipped with wooden joinery, offering complete glazed volumes which, combined with louvered shutters, allow for a soft and high-quality filtration of light as well as protection against prying eyes.
