SOCIAL HOUSING UNITS FOR PURCHASE
The project for social housing units and retail units, in two six-storey buildings, stands out due to its wood-covered lightweight openwork facade.
This facade, developed by the architectural firm Philippon - Kalt, is what defines the project: it covers both buildings, following their lines and developments, becomes a sliding shutter over the windows and is partially broken off in front of the terraces.
It is lightweight and thin, just 30 cm thick, and brings together industrial components: cladding panels and steel subframes with wooden covering.
The building’s bioclimatic design (compact, very high thermal efficiency insulated façade, good solar heating) has made it possible to go beyond the Effinergie + label requirements, with a gain of 45% over the Bbio Max.
The project, in Choisy-le-Roi, Val de Marne, is part of an urban regeneration scheme in the Briand-Pelloutier district, created by the Groupe Valophis, developer and contracting firm; in the long term the project will include 375 housing units plus retail units.
