In addition to its responsibility for the architectural, urban design and landscape coordination of the “Macro Plot A3” of the Controlled Development Zone (ZAC) on the banks of the Seine at Boulogne Billancourt, the office is also constructing a building with 86 apartments on the same plot.
One of the central principles of the urban project developed by the office for the ZAC was the creation of permeable plots which could be traversed by pedestrians moving about their daily business. This transforms the hearts of the plots into important additional design elements within the urban landscape. Plot A3 contains a total of 35,000m² of built space and enjoys the same functional mix found on the other macro plots: offices, retail space, social and lease-to-buy housing, housing for young workers and a play centre. These projects are being developed by the following designers:
- Housing for young workers; Menu & Saison architecte, Lille
- Offices: MAP Arquitectos, Barcelona
- Lease-to-buy apartments: Louis Paillard architecte, Paris
- Social and lease-to-buy apartments and retail space: Patrick Chavannes architecte, Paris
- Play centre: LAN architectes, Paris
- Landscape design to interior of plot: D’ici là, landscape architects
The project of 86 social and lease-to-buy apartments with ground floor shops developed by Agence Patrick Chavannes is located at the tip of Lot A3. The complex volume is developed at three different scales: of the avenue, the service road and the heart of the plot. All the façades are treated with white terracotta brickwork with the exception of the plastered volume which stands separately at the heart of the ensemble.
