Ecrin des Minimes / Taillandier Architectes Associés

Located in the Minimes district, between the Canal du Midi and the Barrière de Paris neighborhood, the site forms a corner between Avenue Frédéric Estèbe and rue Mengaud. The ground floors of the buildings along Avenue des Minimes, mostly ranging from one to three-story buildings, are mainly occupied by shops. Avenue Frédéric Estèbe, on the other hand, has a marked residential character, with two to four-story buildings as well as ground-floor houses or old Toulousaines that have recently been raised. A network of residential streets runs perpendicular to Avenue Frédéric Estèbe, offering a variety of architectural styles, from beautiful Toulousaines with gardens to pavilions from the 1940s, and small post-war buildings as far as rue Negreneys.
