Residence Joffre - Nanterre (92)

The project consists of a single building comprising 25 open-access housing units and 18 social housing units. These 43 dwellings, with different typologies, are randomly distributed on each of the levels. 

The facade of the building, located at the intersection of rue Sainte Geneviève and avenue du Maréchal Joffre, is composed of light-coloured bricks on all levels, including the attic. The facades and attics set back from rue Sainte Geneviève and avenue du Maréchal Joffre are made of light-coloured plaster in brick tones.

The movement of the facades on the edge or set back from the parcel boundary allows the project to be punctuated with green spaces planted to the south, north-east and west. The cross-shaped layout of the built volume allows for solar orientations conducive to housing, favours double orientations and blends into the surrounding context.
