Le Gabriel
TAA Agency presents one of its projects: “Le Gabriel”, a new development comprising a senior residence, and collective, intermediate, and individual housing units in Saint-Jory (Occitanie Region, France).
Roland Halbe
“Le Gabriel” project in Saint-Jory is, above all, an urban development project that helps structure the northern entrance of this typical village in the northern part of Toulouse. After numerous phases of urban studies carried out over several years, the developer UNITI was entrusted with the three hectares of this Development and Planning Orientation (OAP), to implement a mixed-use program that contributes to shaping this town entrance, blending public facilities and housing.

Contemporary rural house
The new house stands on the site of a previous rural building which was carefully demolished to recover all possible materials, including: the original bricks, some beams and old tiles.

Materials subsequently integrated with large beams and pillars recovered from the demolitions of ancient buildings. The great theme was to be able to make the energy efficiency and anti-seismic needs of a contemporary house coexist using traditional materials and an architectural and typological language without betraying its value and spirit.

360 Degrees
Along the water of the IJ river in Amsterdam lies 360 Degrees, the closing piece of Grasweg. The new building is located right opposite our urban plan Cityplot Buiksloterham. Its design was developed integrally with Cityplot and shares the same ambitions on flexibility, circularity and social sustainability. Being the highest and largest structure in the area, the building forms a sculptural symbol of re-use — not only from its surroundings, but also from the water and the city centre across.

Teaming up with StoneCycling, we developed a new series of so-called WasteBasedBricks®, which upcycle selected construction waste into high-quality building bricks. With these bricks, we were able to repurpose a tota... More

OVERVIEW
The Challenge Over 60% of all waste globally is of construction origin, with huge quantities of this waste ending in landfill. Additionally, traditional bricks and blocks are made from precious, finite raw materials which involve high energy for extraction as well as manufacture into finished fired products. It is key for the architecture, design and construction sectors to reduce their waste, become more circular and to find more sustainable low carbon means to development and a net zero society.
The Technology This unfired construction unit has excellent sustainability credentials - having over 90% recycled content from construction waste, low energy input in its production when compared to traditional clay-fired... More
