94 social housing units ZAC Masséna, Paris
Contrasting architectural scripts and united by a common base, buildings M9B3 and M9B4 respond to each other to question the issues specific to this project: construction to cover railway tracks, low energy consumption, sustainability in a polluted urban environment.
A restricted range of materials, colors and textures envelops them: metal / glass, dark / bright, matt and porous / smooth and shiny. Expanded metal, satin aluminum, clear or enamelled glass combine to compose a sober and timeless architecture, both spectacular in its scale and modest in its formal simplicity.
