The site is located in a cul-de-sac in the Marais at the back of the Place des Vosges. The design proposal seeks to replace the existing 1960s factory building.
The six story residential building will provide five units and a garden at the back. The scheme is sited in a prominent location and bridges the gap between two existing structures.
The facade is composed of two layers: a curtain wall and a concrete skin.
The entrance is created by lifting the surface like a theatre curtain, in enticing the visitor in to the third dimension.
The project palette is composed of:
•Two materials: concrete and glass; and
•Two colours: black and white
