INDUSTRIAL FRIENDLINESS

Densify the pavilion in Stains.

On the shared plot, only the house and the major trees referring directly to the gardens representative of the pavilion are preserved. The aim is to densify in order to respond to the strong increase in population in the Parisian periphery with the Grand Paris project. In fact, the locations of the vegetation guide the forms of the buildings.

If the housing is collective, it is so even in its kitchens. The kitchen for two dwellings is the central element of this project. This makes it possible to lighten the individual dwellings and to create convivial opportunities within the inhabitants.

Moreover, the habitat of tomorrow must be flexible, mixed and evolving. This is why the 100% wooden structure of CLT panels and solid wood posts allows the design of free-standing floors that evolve with the typologies of households. Designing a flexible building means ensuring its durability over time. The metal takes over the façade with the corrugated sheet metal that protects the wood and by the light gangways that ensure the horizontal circulation and the individual habitable extensions. The use of «sincere» materials allows for dry construction and thus an important economic gain.
