Located in a residential area with a valuable landscape and architectural heritage, consisting of buildings dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as elegant ‘bourgeois’ houses built on generously landscaped plots and surrounded by stone walls, the development project promoted by the city and the Société d’Economie Mixte Départementale pour l’Aménagement de la Vallée d’Oise reflects a firm commitment to quality. Our proposal aims to integrate harmoniously into the dynamics of the neighborhood’s renewal, with a rigorous and demanding approach.

We have endeavoured to translate the following objectives into the project:

– harmonious integration into the site, encouraging exchanges between the new project and the neighbourhood (public garden, shops, pedestrian walkways, landscape continuity, visibility of addresses, volumetrics, etc.).

– The consideration of the recommended typologies, within a coherent urban ensemble, implies the arrangement of a building with a portico on the avenue and intermediate dwellings inside the block. This organisation responds to the contextual characteristics, while offering a pleasant living environment, characterised by a variety of residential typologies.

– Habitability conditions, preserving residential privacy, especially in the design of the ground floor apartments. Provision has been made for the incorporation of outdoor spaces attached to the dwellings, such as gardens, balconies and terraces. Special attention has also been paid to the treatment of boundaries (private/public), accesses, thresholds and fences. In addition, careful consideration is given to the orientation and layout of the dwellings, prioritising those with a double or triple orientation and those that run through the building, optimising views and the capture of sunlight.
