Young Workers' Home - Meudon (92)

Situated on a site with an exacerbated topography, largely vegetated and bordered by railway infrastructures, this housing project responds above all to topographical, acoustic and visual constraints.

The programme is spread over five levels, each comprising ten rooms. To the west, the fold in the façade opens up all the common areas onto the railway landscape (kitchen, floor centre, multi-purpose room).

The eastern façade is divided into two distinct entities separated by a full-height gap that shows the partition of the two buildings. It also offers a quality of space crossing the common areas of the floor, with natural lighting at the end of the corridor and natural ventilation of the living rooms.

The building forms a coherent architectural whole whose homogeneous character is underlined by the unity of the materials used and by the regularity of its glazed openings, so as to ensure cost control and a certain energy performance.
