100 Social Housing Units in Caen / OLGGA Architects



Along with ArtefactoryLabOLGGA Architects put together this creative video presentation for a social housing competition in CaenFrance. The mixed-use building includes 100 affordable housing units, ground floor retail units and community spaces. The residential units gradually stack up to six stories, maximizing the potential of the site while remaining sensitive to the surrounding context. Stepped terraces provide private outdoor spaces for each dwelling unit while simultaneously allowing for optimal daylighting and natural ventilation. This style of stepped modular construction is a very hot topic of architectural discourse at the moment. This distinctive style appearing in projects by MVRDV as well as BIG Architects. Apologies for the lack f plans, hopefully I've wet all your appetites and you'll do some googling. www.google.com :-)
