The new five-floor construction comprises a retirement home with 112 beds, a kindergarten on the first floor and two apartments on the first floor.
Within the buildings along Boulevard de Charonne, the new retirement home creates a variation in scale and rhythm.
The rooms feature large windows overlooking the garden and offer views of the city. Patterned facade elements partially screen the windows and generate a variety of shadows and reflections inside the rooms and towards the facade. A protected courtyard in the tradition of the ‘Parisian Villa’ is conceived as a welcoming space for accessing the retirement home and the kindergarten.
In the landscaped area the preserved trees remain as witnesses of the former building’s garden which closed in 2007. A coloured fence simultaneously delimits and animates the two different outdoor areas".
