In Montreuil, this mixed used project has been built on a former industrial site divided into many private plots. The project takes place on the site of a small 140sq.m. warehouse landlocked between permanent constructions which have already been converted into dwellings and workshops.
The project offers a production space on the ground floor: a professional kitchen for 10 people; upstairs, two 55m2 apartments take advantage of the particular conditions of the plot: a dual-aspect flat offers a view on the courtyard shared between the different lots resulting from the parcel division of the former factory, a second introverted one is organized around a patio and benefits from pre-existing openings (view easements on neighbouring volumes). The roof is accessible and offers an active space overhanging above the volumes inherited from the factory; an aromatic garden is set here serving the kitchen on the ground floor.
The project therefore presents itself as an in-between, a fragment in permanent mutation, a state in the making, opened to being taken further by its inhabitants.
↪ How can we rethink traditional city planning and respond to the urgencies of the continuously evolving urban environment?
