8 Social Housing Units / Atelier Régis Roudil Architectes

Located at the bow of a new subdivision at the entrance of the city of Gignac-la-Nerthe, the project proposes to integrate social housing through the use of a special materiality that embodies the territory. The architectural design proposes two volumes that seek to harmonize with the surrounding urban context of isolated and grouped houses. The project and its typological distribution allow for eight dwellings on this plot. The building, constructed in solid stone, resonates with the vernacular constructions of the village. The outdoor spaces are designed in a wooden structure and complete the accommodation with places to contemplate the massif of La Nerthe. The stones from the neighboring quarries make up the facade and mark the place with a particular atmosphere. The raw material expresses its strength.
