The development’s architecture reflects a real desire for a symbolic connection between the town and the forest. It draws inspiration from classic ideas in its vertical openings, the materials used and the presence of tiles but is boldly contemporary in its expression.

The buildings follow a gentle slope, from the front section on 5 floors on the town side to only 2 floors on the forest side. To reinforce this idea of a connection between town and forest, the trees stand tall between the buildings, a part of the very heart of the project.

The detail:

The development’s architecture reflects a real desire for a symbolic connection between the town and the forest. The locations of the paths, parking and buildings were carefully studied to privilege gardens and planted areas. A continuous path takes you from one communal area to the next, punctuated by landscaped gardens and joining the general public path to the south. A textured environment creates the communal feel for the different floors (R+2 to R+4) and creates distance between the public and private spaces. A more individual feel is introduced by the façade railings and ornamental features specific to each floor.
