Social Housing in Paris / Bigoni Mortemard

Clichy Avenue, at the corner of Bernard Buffet Street, the architects, Stéphane Bigoni and Antoine Mortemard recently completed a social housing project that points to one of the entrances of the Martin Luther King Park. A delicate, white varnished aluminum cloak, made of perforated sliding curtains animates the south-east facade and the bow facing the park. Its bending geometry addresses three issues. It counteracts the linear aspect of the plot on its longest side, perceived as not suitable to satisfy conventional proportions. Its bending shape also accommodates loggias.

Officially opened on 16 and 17 May in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, the Françoise Sagan Multimedia library covers 3.500 m2 of usable surface area over one site, the Clos Saint-Lazare, which alternately housed a leprosarium, a priory and a prison before becoming a hospital which was closed in 1998. The site is hidden from view, despite being steeped in history, and is little-known, even by Parisians.
