The project is located on one of the many industrial redevelopment sites in this part of northern France, on the Fives Cail Babcock site in an area in full urban renewal, studied and developed by l’AUC urban planners.
The site is bordered to the west by an alley containing rows of low-rise “workers’ housing” (two stories + attic). This alley runs between rue des Rogations, located to the south of the property, and rue Pierre Legrand to the north that contains single-family houses (three stories + attic) with large gardens in the center of the block.

Over the past twenty years Lille has become a European hub; a destination for business and congress, a great place to study and live and also a tourist destination. It is a city with a turbulent history of conquest and reconquest, a heritage as an important medieval city and later the industrial capital. It is this history, the unique and striking presence of remnants of ramparts of the citadel, which the project seeks to mention.
