DEMOCRATIC HOUSES

Located on the edge of the river Seine in Paris, these housing units are now possible thanks to “La Loi Alur,” new legislation that allows vertical urban expansion. They do not require any lot acquisition as the rights to build are obtained in exchange for the creation of a common area as part of the existing building’s renovation. We were therefore able to propose green housing costing forty percent below market price, built offsite and thereby causing minimal disruption, in an extremely short timeframe thanks to our patented panels and unique technique of prefabrication.

These patents were achieved in collaboration with our team of engineers and specialists. These “energy plus” houses are modular systems that can be extended depending on the user’s needs.
Building on top of roofs is not only an ecological and economical solution, but it also prevents the urban sprawl that adversely affects society. It’s also a contemporary way to discover new perspectives of the city, a new Paris above the horizon.
