LICENCE 3 _ DWELLINGS
2013 - ENSAPLV
ENSAPLV : STUDIO L3.1 PA
YEAR : 2013
LOCATION : Crossing Paul Bert St. and Etienne Marcel St.
PROGRAM : Housing study
Project of ten dwellings in Montreuil : the aim is to constituate a set of 10 semi-collective dwellings on a «tooth-gap» constraint site, in Paris (the first crown, peripheral districts of the region of Paris, Montreuil).
The general neighborhood and context of the site is quite heterogeneous, there are no predefined real urban shapes. For this projet, I tried to found out what was the urban identity of the town of the city of Montreuil. I decided to work with the most basic form of urban dwelling, the pavilion, the prototypical «house». I had the desire to create living space with individual and collective purposes. The main design start from the concept of a stacking system, with superposed pavilion, creating a new dimension of the conventional «house», in its use and form.
This Architecture STUDIO aims to the initiation of the architectural conception of the generic house. First of all, the space will be seeing individually and so in a ollective way in order to understand the transition of scales by integrating urban construtive logics.
We will consider the design of residential units through a scale of average costs. Thus, through a phased approach, this exercice will aim to introduce the architecural and environmental values to the overall context.
LICENCE 3 _ COLLECTIVE HOUSING
2014 - ENSAPLV
ENSAPLV : STUDIO L3.1 PA
YEAR : 2014
LOCATION : Crossing Paul Bert St. and Rue de Paris
PROGRAM : Collective housing + cultural structure
Following an overall urban study of the site and its surrounding, I ended up to see that the neighborhood of Montreuil, in this specific area were close to a lot of abandonned structure which along the years attracted a lot of artists and people that would freely appropriate these spaces. Beside this interesting social diversity, the district is seriously lacking of new infrastructures and housing. Since there were multiple sites that could be re-habilitated in the area, I decided to work on a strategic crossing site that could hold either a dense infrastructure for housing but also a plaza that would bring life to people living in the neighborhood. The site delimited is approximately equivalent to 4000m2, the project will try to propose a coherent urban development with the existing urban tissue, existing social communities and connections.
Since the main landscape typology of the area is representing specific low and old busy facades, I decided to design a building that would bring modernity and new housing typology to the area without being intrusive and distorting the exisiting context. The building should almost be transparent and super neutral in its shape, but really malleable in its use.
