Winner 2014 of the Palmarès Grand Public Architecture Contemporaine in France, the residential development designed by Babin+Renaud is located in Nantes’ nearly completed ecodistrict, La BottièreChênaie. Surrounded by an open, arborescent landscape open to the public, it is akin to a welcoming island and is a good place to live. It is accessed from a brandnew plantfilled mall by climbing a few steps up to a raised interior courtyard. From this shared public space there are numerous choice views, in particular to the south towards a preserved natural setting and beyond, the metropolitan skyline. The courtyard is surrounded by four buildings. On the southeast side a series of wide walkways on two levels give access to the housing units, which enjoy large terraces or balconies. On the northwest side there are twenty flats on four levels that look out to the more urban part of the new neighborhood which can be seen through five openwork stairwells. Two more vertical buildings on the northeast and southwest corners each contain some dozen smaller units. The first runs along the planted mall which contains an entrance lobby shared by all the residents and connects the raised courtyard to the shared space and a World 13 NOV 2014 Housing Residential Selected Works Babin+Renaud France Nantes 28 Like Tweet 39 12 49 29611 POSTS 391275 COMMENTS SEARCH ARCHDAILY Home Projects News Articles Interviews Software Venice Biennale More Materials CATALOG You may also like: 2013 Los Angeles Architectural Aw Announced
