South facade from Tilleuls mall, Image Courtesy © Hervé Abbadie  Image Courtesy © Hervé Abbadie Arranged around a central garden, buildings N1/N2 and N3/N4 are connected from North to South which continues on lot C and organizes deep views from east to west in the islet from the walk of the Coulée verte. They are positioned parallel to the Promenade des Aqueducs with a slightly bent geometry which installs a gentle relationship between the facades opposite. A superposition of trays with the folded geometry allows to generate generous and diversified external spaces where it is possible to take his meals in the nice season.

They offer a real extra space for the inhabitants, unheated but closed and ventilated naturally, which renews the uses. Accessible from the balconies, they function as “huts at the bottom of the garden”. Depending on the season, you can sit around a small table, grow plants, or tinker. At night they dress the building with giant lanterns on the scale of the city.

He declines the theme of a hilly forest. The modeling of the ground consists of storm basins and hills to give more privacy to the housing on the ground floor. Plantations of beeches and mixing of perennial grasses cover the ground and give a forest spirit in the heart of islet.

A pedestrian walkway made of concrete poured in place leads, through the trees of the undergrowth, to the entrance halls of the buildings that are reached by crossing footbridges covered with a wooden decking.

At each stage of the project development, the challenge is to respond to the duality between a site and a program. They attach great importance to the dialogue between the client and the architect. A successful project is a shared project.

Daquin & Ferrière Architecture’s work is part of a contemporary culture: architecture must be creative, meaningful and create emotion and dreams.
