Article source: Margot-Duclot architectes associés Margot-Duclot architectes associés concluded in 2013 a 5 years project in the city of Bonneuil-sur-Marne. The TCSP, a major public transport project connecting the Pompadour place with the Sucy station, initiated a strong renewal in the Bonneuil City entrance.The land retrieved from the railways made possible the conversion of the IUFM crossroad into a friendly urban scale.

That is how a strong architectural signal, made the Bonneuil entrance an important and recognizable place. That is how a brand new urban comfort was born, the result of a dialogue between a friendly public space and this equally urban and architectural project.  Image Courtesy © David Foessel We have decided to design small and independent buildings to create a residential proximity, organized around a generously planted core. The choosen orientations of the masterplan invite the sun in the heart of the project all year long. Between the buildings, through plnated alleys, can be seen individual houses, large balconies, shared gardens and kid’s playground. Here we find a type of intermediate housing, half building half house, with all its qualities.

The planted heart of the project is perceived in all its variety from the street. The rainwaters are regrouped into wells created in the inner landscape.
