photo: Sergio Grazia photo: Sergio Grazia Golden Cube Rue Marcel Bontemps 46 92100 Paris The guiding principles of these student halls of residence were standardisation, self-regulation and a maximisation of internal space This project, with its 156 rooms in an 8-storey building taking up almost the entire plot, is no exception to this rule There is nonetheless a secret garden, as the project coordinators, Loci Anima, were keen to reintroduce some biodiversity onto the island Every flat has an outdoor area A 15-metre recess allowed to include loggias along almost the entire façade The building's outline is blurred by the use of filters, water effects and openings in the perforated sheets of steel It is also dotted with birdhouses The occupants cannot interfere with them and they require no maintenance photo: Sergio Grazia Project is not public! 12-2014 3200 m² General consultant Contractor Geometry consultant Project manager Hamonic + Masson Aretec Bouygues Legrand Loci Anima Nexity Hamonic-Masson http://wwwmimoaeu/users/pete_s/guides/paris/ 4

photo: Luc Boegly photo: Luc Boegly Tetris 13-15-19 rue du Nord 75018 Paris The project is part of an urban program aimed at regenerating underprivileged neighbourhoods in Northern Paris Nine residences and three artists' studios were built on three narrow plots The project was shaped by our intention to stay in harmony with the neighbourhood's scale and density while maximizing space and daylight available to future residents Perfect alignment with existing buildings and identical façade treatment erases the difference between the old and the new The «commonplace» exterior is balanced by the singularity of living rooms Each of the 3 buildings has one apartment per floor The staggered arrangement of day and night zones allows for the difference in ceiling heights: 3,40 m for the living room and 2,60 for the bedroom Each individual residence is marked by a large timber-framed bow window highlighting the increased height of double-aspect living rooms The principle equally applies to apartments and atéliers, as nowadays home and workspace tend to merge 6-2010 794 m² General consultant Moussafir es SIBAT SIEMP MAA photo: Luc Boegly http://wwwmimoaeu/users/pete_s/guides/paris/ 7
