The largest square in eastern Paris, the Place Félix Eboué, has a new landmark.
The residential and commercial building of Baumschlager Eberle Architekten closes the gap between a modernist building and a Belle Epoque house.
Our team in Paris managed to formulate the transition very elegantly with a final terrace and an adjacent tower.
The new house presents itself with a strongly sculptural architecture whose articulation reflects the dynamics of the urban space.
With its shimmering white façade and striking shutters, it is more than just an enrichment for urban life.
A spatial flow is developed quite consistently, leading from the square via a passage into the landscaped courtyard.
In this way, the rigid separation between the public and private spheres is eliminated to the benefit of residents and passers-by.
The 104 apartments are intelligently developed and feature private open space.
The building envelope with its efficient thermal and noise insulation supports the quality of stay in a building at the interface between city and green space.
