The project was developed thanks to an analysis of possibilities: the atmosphere, the landscape light, the environmental constraints and the formal game that consists in a series of cuttings, openings, slidings defining the different bodies of the building.
The volume was decomposed according to two principles:
- a corner shaped on the commercial streets,
- more compact volumes letting visual and vegetal openings on the green walk.
The project offers a unique opportunity to develop a new attractive and sustainable district for Châtenay Malabry.
As such, "Parc Centrale" created is an extraordinary eco-district that reveals a harmony between the city and the landscape.
Several issues has been overcome:
Revealing the multiple Chatenais identities;
Integrate the new eco-district into its green city environment;
Opening up the site and promoting links between existing neighbourhoods;
Preserve the major routes and the great landscape to create new ecological continuities;
To develop a new polarity of the city to promote encounters, social and intergenerational diversity;
Affirm a sustainable approach at all levels.
The Building has been labeled with the following HQE certifications:
- NF Habitat HQE certification at the Excellent level of Cerqual;
- The E C label with an E3C1 level in anticipation of the future RE 2020;
The orientation of buildings and glazed surfaces take into account solar gain, in order to optimize their use in winter, and to avoid overheating in summer. The interior layout of the spaces is in line with the principles of bioclimatic architecture.
The green roof is a technical solution with many advantages: aesthetics, energy and acoustic performance, fight against heat islands, air quality, biodiversity.
The lighting systems has been chosen for their low consumption and luminous efficiency.
The wood used comes from eco-certified and sustainably managed forests (PEFC or FSC labels).
The volumes have been curved to follow the movement towards the heart of the plot, open the corner living-rooms and bring multiple orientations to the new housing.
The volume located at the intersection of the commercial avenue and the South street has been positioned on the alignment in order to keep the angle of these two lively streets.
This monolith was dug in a step way to get to a visual opening on the central part, guarantee a reduction of the housing number exclusively exposed to North and the creation of supplementary double-orientated housing.
In the heart of the plot, two platforms appear, maximising the housing corner-typologies.
The different blocks of the project are interlocking, so that they respect a harmony of solids and voids:
- some linearity on the commercial avenue,
- some porosity on the green walk,
- some permeability on the surrounding plots.
“The volumes have been curved to follow the movement towards the heart of the plot, open the living-rooms in the corner and bring multiple orientations to the new housing.”
