Favourite Urban Housings
© Bertrand Verney
At the end of the year, we present three urban housings that have convinced our editorial team in every respect.
For a social housing project in north Dijon, the architect Sophie Delhay devised an ingenious building block system based on a quadratic grid, her main consideration being to provide the occupants neutral, identically-sized rooms without pre-assigned functions. As the basic module the architect chose a square room with 3,60 m sides, 13 m² of floor space and capable of being furnished for all conceivable room purposes.

Large European cities occasionally have the potential for internal urban development. In Paris’ 19th arrondissement, directly kitty-corner to the south entrance to the Parc de la Villette, an eight-storey parkade stood until recently in the block core on Avenue Jean-Jaurès. The architects from Encore Heureux have transformed the southern half of the parkade into 75 affordable condominiums for first-time buyers (logements d’accension).
