The 121 units of housing in this project, ranging from affordable to intermediate categories, are distributed in three entities: superimposed, duplex townhouses, a seven-story building and another 15-story emergence, all surrounding a green core accessible to all. Standing on a triangular lot between Martin Luther King Park and the new road built 10m higher up, above the train tracks, the 50-meter-tall apartment tower, resembling a ship’s prow, enjoys views overlooking the business district of La Défense, the Eiffel Tower and the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur. Apartments benefit from a two- or three-way orientation, and are extended by generous 12-m² balconies. Varying from one floor to the next, they create double-height effects. Staggered “butterfly” filters ensure privacy for occupants and protect them from overlooking views. The buildings’ mass is also expressed through the specific use of the materials comprising the façades. Thus, the tower is made of prefabricated insulated concrete panels with a stamped, colored stone effect, whereas the seven-story cone and the townhouses overlooking are constructed in brick. The references to Paris stone and neighboring “HBM” bricks (brick façades of the affordable housing program, 1894-1949) create a powerful historic link with the location’s specific character. Common areas, which are the studio and the Kitchen club on the exterior of the 1st floor, as well as the laundry room in the basement, enhance the wellbeing of its occupants.
