 Original Building

该项目位于巴黎北部一个旧的工人阶级区，地势很深，面积很窄。

The project is located in an old working class borough in the north of Paris on a deep and narrow plot.

现有的建筑状况很差。然而，这份简报要求保留这座街道上的建筑，以保持它的风景如画的精神。人们觉得，这里有一种丰富多彩而密集的社会生活，激励着我们。

Existing constructions were in a very poor condition. Yet the brief asked for the preservation of the building on the street to retain it’s picturesque spirit, and there was a feeling that there had been a rich and dense social life here that inspired us. 

我们的第一个目标是建立一个向南开放的慷慨花园。它在居民的自然道路上，就像街道和家的亲密之间的中间空间。所有公寓的起居室都是在上面开放的，把自己与这小小的城市自然联系起来，把邻居连在一起。

Our first objective was to create a generous garden, opened to the south. It is on the natural path of the inhabitants  and acts like an intermediate space between the street and the intimacy of one’s home. All the apartments living rooms are opened on it , to connect oneself to this small piece of urban nature and to connect neighbors together. 

现时街旁的楼宇已全部改建，以容纳符合今天生活水平的公寓。它还赢得了一个双高门廊，允许从街道上看到花园，更机会主义地-在沿花园建造新建筑时提供通道。

The existing building on the street side is totally revamped to accommodate apartments answering today’s living standards. It also wins a double height porch to allow views to the garden from the street, and - more opportunistically -  to provide access during construction of the new building along the garden.

这一新部件的主要特点是木结构的100%。我们的坚定信念，因为这些材料结合了无与伦比的生态和美学的好处。但在一个国家，所有的法规和建筑习惯都是围绕着混凝土建筑来完成的！从地面到屋顶，我们必须发明新的解决方案来解决结构、声学或火灾问题。一种高科技的低科技材料的使用，带来的整体环境性能超过了目前的标准。

The main feature of this new part is to be 100% in wooden construction. A strong conviction on our part as this materials combines incomparable ecological and aesthetic benefits. But quite a feat in a country were all regulations and builder habits revolve around concrete construction!  From ground to roof we had to invent new solutions to solve structural, acoustic or fire issues. A sort of high tech use of a  low tech material, bringing the overall environmental performance to exceed by far current standards.

但是，即使木材建筑需要高度的纪律和严格，插入式木箱的有趣的节奏，断断续续的外观，破坏合理的建设性秩序，并赋予地方一个自发的特点。盒子的分配位置使每个公寓的布局独特，并允许不同的用途，从他们的正式卧室功能，到Shoho空间或健身房！建筑物后面的小庭院在底层提供私人花园，并帮助我们在所有浴室带来自然光，以增加额外的舒适感和像房子一样的生活质量。(鼓掌)

But even if wood building requires a high degree of discipline and stringency the playful rhythm of the plug-in wood boxes that punctuate the facade disrupt the rational constructive order, and give the place a spontaneous character. The boxes aleatory position make the layout of each apartment unique and allow for different uses, from their official bedroom function to SHOHO spaces or gym room! Small courtyards at the rear of the building provide private gardens at the ground floor and help us  bring natural light in all the bathrooms to add extra comfort and a house-like quality of life.  

 Structure Model

非常图形的铺设木包层进一步打破了对建筑体积的感觉，给出了一个非常安静的色调和价值的感官存在粗糙的天然木材。它有助于将建筑与花园融为一体，它是起伏的木路和露台，漂浮在娇弱的树木和野花的草原上。这样，我们的花园就像一间露天的房间，欢迎住在这个小小的社区里。它最终指出，社会住房仍然可以成为促进小规模、敏感的、幸福和自豪的乌托邦的地方。

The very graphic laying of the wooden cladding further fragments the perception of the built volume, gives a very quiet tone  and values the sensuous presence of the rough natural wood. It helps to blend architecture with the garden and it’s undulating wooden path and terrace, floating around delicate trees and a prairie of wild flowers. Thus making our garden a sort of open air room, welcoming to the small community of inhabitants. It ultimately states that social housing can still be the place to promote small scale sensitive utopias of well being and pride.
