Pignons sur rue

Broadening horizons«Pignons sur rue» is the first residential building built as part of the urban regeneration of the Pérouses neighbourhood in the town of Brignais, near Lyon. The plan has ambitious goals in terms of architecture and social engagement. It is pioneering and stands as a marker in the urban environment. It is the trigger for change: instigating a new dynamic, setting the tone, and prefiguring the transformation.

A roof garden provides additional outdoor space that was otherwise displaced by the building footprint. The material shift of white stucco against gray Equitone fiber cement board panels is intended to read as if the gray mass is being cut away to reveal the museum quality white interior – like a box with incisions made into it.

An existing pool on the site was reduced in siz... More
