The building is formed as a landscape of successive terraces covered with vegetation. This layout orients the whole plot towards the south, which provides maximum light to the courtyards, circulation areas and classrooms, that take full advantage of this high landscape. The area’s flexibility allows for multiple orientations, and viewpoints across the courtyards and the heart of the plot. At the north-east end, the most urban area, the student residence building is designed not to cast any shadow over the courtyards. Compact, it has 9 floors, and is surrounded by a double skin that is provided by an outside space. This extends the living area of each apartment and allows residents to benefit from a panorama view and a mostly east and west-facing orientation. This layout provides a comfortable light that can be individually managed thanks to fixed and sliding perforated metal panels.

104 Social Housing and Home Ownership in Ivry-sur-Seine, France by aEa, agence Engasser+associés

Located on a plot of land in Ivry-sur-Seine and close to the river, this 104-unit project had to adapt to the physical constraints of its environment while enhancing the brief with added value. Composed of three apartment buildings, two of which are for private ownership and the third for social housing, the buildings stand in a verdant environment with a landscaped inner garden, visual openings onto the Seine and roof terraces enhanced by flower- and kitchen-gardens open to everyone.

Arranged in a staggered design, the three buildings are broken down into varying volumes, materials and tones so as to create variations of scale and embellish them with slimmer lines.

A dense, urban project that the agency has transformed with panache into a habitat favourable to encounters and conviviality in a bucolic setting.
