Evolutive and adaptable, the buildings are a source of urbanity and social cohesion

As part of the river eco-district, Lot PA will contribute to the creation of a sociable neighbourhood. It will serve as a hostel for athletes during the 2024 Olympic Games and offer a mixed-use programme after the event. Characterised by a high morphological and typological density, the project comprises four residential buildings, an office building and ground-floor shops. Situated at right angles to the Seine, the strip-shaped buildings are the result of precise coordination. They form an architectural front facing the quayside, forming a visually coherent whole unified by large balconies. This line is interrupted by a series of landscaped intersections that alternate with the coloured minerality of the facades. Finally, the work on the layout accentuates the transition from the urban bustle of the quayside to the more intimate and domestic pedestrian heart of the block. Accentuated by a reduction in height, the buildings are punctuated by inhabited gaps, connected by lobbies, vertical circulation and landings. Each apartment has an outdoor space - balcony, terrace, conservatory - that can be used for a variety of purposes, and residents enjoy a large tree-lined communal terrace on the 5th floor of each building.

The definition of a set of common rules - design of facades, railings, ground floor typology, structural grid - ensures architectural consistency while allowing each building to express its specific and differentiated character. Diversity is expressed through the colours of the concrete, the use of solar protection, the size of the windows and the effects of the modenature.

The wide, walk-through external landings open onto terraces, providing a link between communal circulation and interior privacy, giving the buildings flexibility of use while encouraging residents to make them their own. We are offering autonomy of use, allowing everyone to rediscover the freedom of their own journeys.

On the ground floor, the landscaped walkways, made up of large flowerbeds planted with perennials, shrubs and trees, link the two arms of the Seine. These borders, which can be crossed, provide a planted setting that limits overlooking, helps to cool the building in summer and helps to manage rainwater run-off.
