St.Jacques-de-la-Lande Housing
In Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande, a 200-unit apartment complex was designed for the ZAC de la Morinais area to align with the master plan originally developed by Jean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours. The layout of private and public areas provides functional versatility and social diversity within the city.
The project aligns itself with the main axes through the neighbourhood, which facilitates a beneficial exchange between the public and private spaces. The white facades of the buildings on the street side help to integrate the development into the area. Metal balustrades, a particularly French feature, strictly adhere to the lines of the concrete structure, ensuring the unity of the design as a whole and providing a dynamic grandeur and expressivity. The brown façades of the islands have a more domestic character and assert their difference and originality through colour contrast, creating legible individual dwellings on the courtyard side.
