7 SOCIAL HOUSING

In a narrow Parisian plot with numerous building opposites a small social housing is being built. It looks to address people legitimate yearnings: space, light, intimacy and outside. Communal areas lit by natural light, generous terraces, will bring intimacy and light to the spaces. In a borough marked by bricks as much for shops than for dwellings, the building is thought as a giant masonry. The implementation of polystyrene blocks, glass and ceramic makes it a brick-laying. It darkens as well as it is brought to life by an essential element: mortar.
