Confluence - B1 C1 Nord Lyon, France 22-26

The B1-C1 Nord project in the Confluence district of Lyon covers two riverside blocks. By 2024, it aims to have delivered a mixed-use urban scheme that includes 250 family homes and 15,000 m² of further education space, with retail units on the ground floor. In terms of environmental quality, the project focuses on three major priorities: reconnecting living spaces with the natural environment, mitigating climate change through the use of new construction methods, and significantly limiting resource consumption by designing a revolutionary Concept 22/26 building.

Reflecting the committed stance taken by the urban authority of Lyon, the scheme will facilitate the use of soft mobility options, such as cycling, and encourage the use of nearby public transport links.

This type of residential building has no heating or mechanical ventilation system, but is nevertheless able to guarantee its occupants a consistent year-round indoor temperature of between 22°C and 26°C.
