Article source: Leibar & Seigneurin Delicately inserted into the so-called “Citroën” block,” Le Nant’ile reflects a return to the basic organizational principles of the district with the intensity one expects from a densely built-up city blended with its diverse purposes: living, dwelling and working. Three main goals underpin this structure: first, to create a ribbon volume that fits into the linear layout of existing buildings; second, to ensure visual and pedestrian porosity, weaving all the unbuilt spaces into a legible and fluid continuity; and finally, to build highly diverse spatial configurations making it possible for its occupants to lead a wide variety of lifestyles.

The building housing offices is clad in a glass curtain wall, composed of vertical and horizontal blades forming a grid of bronze-tinted anodized aluminum. The exterior of the apartments is comprised of a perforated white concrete skin, resembling a moucharabieh, whose recesses are either square or in the proportions of the golden rectangle.
