La Diagonale district- ASPP grounds - Pantin (93)

Urban coordination and project management of public spaces in the Pantinoises district

Nestled between an emblematic city (Les Courtillières), a suburban district, faubourian buildings, a stadium and a busy national road (N2), the parcel of land north of Pantin at the corner of rue Edouard Renard and avenue Jean Jaurès raises a real question: How to create a dense urban development project that enhances the heterogeneity of the surrounding urban fabric? How to succeed in the challenge of bringing in new inhabitants by creating an attractive and radiant site?

This project implies thinking up a new model whose urban quality, in connection with its environment, federates the neighbourhood by allowing everyone to benefit from existing assets (facilities, schools, university, the new Grand Paris train station).

To respond to this problem, we have designed a new neighbourhood with a strong identity and a shape that stands out from the surrounding areas: A large open island crossed in its length by a "diagonal".
This axis, partly pedestrian, brings several benefits. Residents will be able to take this shortcut to get to the future Greater Paris metro station located nearby (400m). In addition, it will make it possible to serve, from the inside, blocks of buildings of varying volumes and heights, thus qualifying the addresses of residents. This diagonal road leads to the N2 at the corner of the ASPTT sports grounds. At this point we have positioned the medical day centre, which is represented under a single volume, a large health centre.
The approach is based on the creation of large landscaped areas and variety in the volumes, shapes and heights of the buildings. The multitude of gardens from which the ground floor dwellings will directly benefit is reminiscent of the quality of the gardens of the adjacent suburban fabric.
