Siting

The mixed programming of this urban plot strengthens and diversifies the qualities of the neighborhood. The new residential buildings are placed along the perimeter of the plot, standing at a respectful distance from the preserved historic home. This layout frames a serene, secluded garden in the heart of the block, opening onto Rue Edgar Quinet across a 15-meter gap. This green breathing room within the dense suburban fabric introduces abundant natural light and plant life to the public realm.
Along Boulevard Charles de Gaulle, the building maintains visual transparency on the ground floor through a bike-pavilion porch, and on upper levels through open dual-aspect living rooms. On Rue Edgar Quinet, the stepped massing preserves sunlight and sightlines for neighboring homes while providing new apartments with generous continuous terraces.
