Bs6a
The Bs6a project addresses the delicate balance between achieving ambitious environmental goals, ensuring respectful integration within an existing wooded setting, and delivering high-quality housing for both social rental and owner-occupied units, sold at “controlled prices.”
The project’s layout follows a free implantation, harmoniously arranged around a preserved grove of trees. A staggered arrangement and varied building heights create visual permeability and open views, while also animating the neighborhood skyline.
The use of compact, freestanding volumes helps minimize both building frontage and ground coverage.
The design incorporates numerous principles to provide residents with a high quality of living: a landscaped, pedestrian-friendly base, naturally lit stairwells and shared circulation areas, apartments with dual or triple orientations, daylit kitchens, and generous private outdoor spaces placed at building corners.
To achieve its environmental targets, the project includes a ground-floor wood-fired boiler. The construction method is equally ambitious: a concrete structural frame (columns and slabs) combined with prefabricated timber-framed façades, insulated with cellulose wadding, complemented by interior wood-fiber insulation, and finished with cladding in timber or composite panels.
