Mixed project for the rehabilitation of a 19th century building comprising apartments and an artist's studio. The emphasis is on shared spaces within the small co-ownership. The house has a collective outdoor courtyard for residents in connection with a common room opening onto this courtyard, allowing a shared space to be offered to residents. The philosophy of the project is that of group housing driven by common values.
The objective is to create suitable and high-quality housing in the city center. Indeed, the housing is both generous enough to be inhabited by families while offering a slightly higher level of comfort than traditional apartments thanks to the possibility of using the common areas on the ground floor. The two simplexes do not have a terrace but large openings allowing light to enter. The duplex, further from the outdoor courtyard and larger, has a roof terrace.
The project was designed by promoting the use of ecological materials (wooden structure with bio-sourced insulation, finishing coatings made from Brussels earth, etc.) and the reuse of tiles, doors, kitchen furniture and sanitary appliances were imported from a demolition site taking place at the same time.
