In Paris, France, a warehouse conversion project by BRENAC & GONZALEZ & ASSOCIES created two stunning adaptable mixed use residential buildings. Located alongside a tree lined promenade, the buildings have a combination of public and private patios, courtyards, gardens and hanging gardens. The placement and orientation of the buildings on the urban site was strategically planned to allow for maximum natural sunlight to be able to filter into the interior space, reducing the overall energy needs of the project. The designers also realized that they would need a way to combat the sunlight in the summer months to reduce solar gain. To confront this challenge, the facade of the buildings were wrapped in perforated metal, which allows for protection from the direct sun, but also allows for air flow movement and light to filter into the spaces. The light through facades of the buildings allows for a playful use of light, and the adaptability of the panels allows for an exterior that is ever changing much like its environment. The panels provide noise insulation from the city as well when closed, adding another protective barrier for its inhabitants. On the site, vast beautiful gardens are prevalent. These gardens allow for the residents and neighborhood to be able to connect with nature and have access to fresh grown food. Successful urban design is increasingly shown to be projects that can incorporate multiple aspects of sustainability within them while also being cognizant of creating a sense of community. Hopefully more projects such as this one, will be incorporated into more urban environments.
