The building’s architectural design is marked by a sought-after monumentality, with an imposing north facade and a northwest corner that rises like a “tower” visible from afar. This structural choice enhances the building’s timeless aesthetic while playing on verticality and the play of light and shadow to create a strong, dynamic presence in the urban landscape.The building meets RT 2012 standards, with a 20% improvement in energy performance, and is aiming for E+C- certification with high energy and carbon levels. Finally, the materials and colors chosen ensure harmonious integration with the urban environment, while guaranteeing the durability and architectural quality of the project.At the same time, the quality of the apartments is at the heart of the project. All apartments are either walk-through or double-oriented, maximizing natural light and ventilation. Each apartment has its own private outdoor space, be it a loggia or a terrace, offering not only an extension of the living space but also protection from noise pollution, particularly for those facing the SNCF railway line. Front-facing bathrooms benefit from natural lighting and ventilation, enhancing daily comfort.The interior layout is optimized to offer fluid circulation and generous living spaces. The layout of the rooms is designed to ensure unobstructed views and fluid interaction with the exterior, reinforcing the feeling of space and well-being.Text description provided by the architects.The building project in the Coligny ZAC inOrléansis distinguished by its ambition to revitalize the northern entrance to the city while placing particular emphasis on housing quality and architectural monumentality.
