The group of architects Triptyque, Duncan Lewis, Oxo and Parc with the Compagnie de Phalsbourg alongside Engie Avenue, Encoders & Company, Hertel Investissement win the “Le Coteau” site in Arcueil (France), as part as the public contest “Inventons la Métropole du Grand Paris”.

A new South gate for the Metropole du Grand Paris

The site “Le Coteau” is an exceptional location at the southern entrance of the metropolis. Overhanging the A6, Paris and its monuments, it benefits from metropolitan accessibility – A6, RER B, and in the near future, lines 14 and 15 of the Grand Paris Express – and is at the heart of important health and digital economy clusters.

A new type of building between city and nature

“Our project is to make on this privileged site the link between the city and the nature and to present a building that can interface these two environments. This transition zone bridging two ecosystems is called an ecotone in biology. ”

World-wide incarnation for wood construction and the sustainable city, ECOTONE will be the largest wood construction in Europe. In times of global ecological crisis, ECOTONE aims to become a statement, signaling  the commitment of Paris to its metropolis.

A landscape building dedicated to biomimetic research

Architecture is inspired by Nature. From the bird’s nest to the hive of bees, the Nature knows better than Men how to design its habitat by ensuring structuralqualities, thermal and exceptional applications.

ECOTONE emphasizes the landscape. It takes the form of a terraced building along the slope and dug out of patios allowing interior illumination of living and working places.
