JEUNEVILLE
A
teliers Jean Nouvel has designed a radical, avant-garde, colourful and flexible project that can radically and sustainably reinterpret the way of living and working for greater Paris, France. Called Jeuneville, the project covers more than 121,000 sqm and will combine diversity of uses and modularity of spaces, with colourful and vivid modules stacked on different levels. DESIGN COMPOSITION Commissioned by London-based real estate developer General Projects, Jeuneville is envisioned as a vertical city with the aim of reducing a low carbon footprint on the ground. Jean Nouvel's unique project is centred on diversity and well-being and is specifically designed for the new generations and the new economy for Paris. Construction will begin in 2022 and is planned to be completed in 2025; it will be built on the banks of the Seine, opposite the Olympic and Paralympic Village, in the centre of a new district in transition of Gennevilliers and the North Loop of the Seine. Jeuneville offers a diverse programme scattered in 12 floors, the project will contain 45,000 sqm of offices, 26,000 sqm of co-living space, 14,000 sqm of student residences - 5,000 sqm dedicated to education, 4,000 sqm of maker / fab-lab spaces, and 2,300 sqm of shops. The project also includes 30,000 sqm of public and green spaces that will create a new kind of ecosystem in which around 6,000 people will work and 1,500 will live. “Jeuneville responds to the challenges of a metropolitan context while being integrated into a territory bordering the Seine, thanks to an architecture that is both mixed, evolving and open to the outside,” said Jean Nouvel.
