La Roca Student Housing / A6A

We built the last piece of an overall project located in the Bordeaux sector of Brazza. After the silo parking and the « sports cathedral », the new student residence accentuates the dynamism and mix of uses of this new district. The proportions of the plot allowed us to go beyond the classic layout of batteries of rooms on either side of a corridor without natural light. On the contrary, the heart of the project here is an open-air patio around which circulation wraps. These passageways open onto the gaps between each building, framing the new urban landscape and promoting natural ventilation throughout. The rooms are therefore open and through, both towards the street and towards the planted and shaded patio. It constitutes a real island of freshness for the benefit of students.
