- The project creates a continious "urban ribbon" on rue Marcadet and along rue Stephenson, in which the project leans on the accommodations.
- On Marcadet street the project draws an outline on the upper part, and is in continuity with the street on the lower half. It is therefore integrated in rue Marcadets’ "skyline type" silhouette.
- At the corner of Duployé street the façade helps it to narrow down which creates an entrance that hides and reveals the street. The big windows punctuate the angle.
- Duployé Street a porous urban fringe unveils sporadically an interior garden.
- Constructed up to level 3 ( + set back on level 4) it creates pillars separated by trenches
It reminds us by its typology the urban sequences of rue Montpensier, along the Palais Royal (Paris 1), of the rue Grabriel Laumain (Paris 10), or of la Cité aux fleurs. The 3 metre set back from the alignment gives space for a Garden which is set up along the whole street.
- Some dwellings overstep the trenches, creating overhangs on the passageway.
















The elevations :

Giving on the street an alteration of small an large sharp framed windows are freely disposed on the elevations. Some of the large windows reinforce vertically, creating a effect on the angle, as for the entrance of the rue Duployé.
The court elevation giving on the garden, balconies are “projected” out from building all along the court.
The double glass railing, sometimes facing front, sometimes lateraly to give dynamise the garden view.
The elevation is exterior isolation assuring the new thermal standards, and to follow the ecoligical approach wanted by the client. The elevation covering is done with white lacquered aluminium on the street side, and silver on the perpendicular elevations. In the court, the elevations are coated with white (grey on the rue Stephenson building), over the exterior isolation.
At level zero, the street walls are in (specially glazed) concrete having the same color as the rest of the elevation to assure a good resistance against ageing.

We can notice that “boxes” come out of the elevations (70cm). They help define the building style and the volume expression, in particularly at the corners where they help to architecturalise the turn back of the building. They extend the interiour surface of the dwellings. At 70 cm from the floor, a glass railing to give a maximum visual comfort for the handicapped people. A aluminium frame with 3 operable windows inside enclose the building.

The shading is done with interior sliding shade panels on the north elevation, and with sliding shade panels ( slide into the thickness of the exterior wall) for the “houses” of the rue Duployé on street and garden side. The access to the mechanism of the shades will be easily accessible from the interior of the dwellings. The building will be equipped with Persian blinds.
For the boxes the project will use blinds which fold into 4 parts using the totality of the boxes’ largeness.
