The Avon project focuses on converting an existing office complex into a residential development on a strategic town-center site at 49 Avenue Franklin Roosevelt. It delivers approximately 64 housing units while retaining the ground-floor retail spaces to preserve urban vitality and continuity of use.<\/p>\n
The intervention relies on a sensitive transformation of the existing building: opening up the fa\u00e7ades, creating loggias, and upgrading the common areas to significantly enhance everyday functionality and livability. The project also incorporates a strong landscape dimension by greening the heart of the city block, helping provide a peaceful, high-quality living environment in a dense urban setting.<\/p>\n
Located in the center of Avon, this conversion project transforms an existing office building into 64 collective housing units by skillfully combining rehabilitation and new construction.<\/p>\n
The existing building is completely reimagined: the fa\u00e7ades are redesigned through the addition of loggias and balconies, while external thermal insulation with a lime render and timber-frame walls significantly improve the energy performance of the building envelope.<\/p>\n
The ground floor, punctuated by preserved retail units, opens onto a landscaped inner courtyard that becomes the shared social heart of the residence. Restrained and welcoming, the architectural language plays on the contrast between a light-colored render and timber elements on the fa\u00e7ade, offering every apartment generous outdoor spaces with unobstructed views of the surrounding urban landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
