Sumit Singhal
Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Urban Triology by Rh+ architectureOctober 26th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Rh+ architecture The site of this project is atypical: It is a land unit composed of three parcels of land , rather narrow, of equivalent width and quite deep. The neighboring houses are very imposing: 6 floors on one side and 8 floors on the other. The central plot is occupied by a small building to be preserve, which overhangs the future buildings. His situation reinforces its presence.  Image Courtesy © Luc Boegly

They are different in their volumetries and the materials used for their facades: aluminum cladding, lime-wash coating for the renovation, and glazed concrete. On the street side, the façade offers 3 architectures which soften the importance of the operation.

The new buildings have their own address: 20, 22 and 24 rue Basfroi. They also have their own entrance, mailboxes and common premises in order to encourage the inhabitants’ appropriation. Furthermore, it allows a good functionality to the users of the buildings.
