HEROUVILLE-SAINT-CLAIR, CITE DU GRAND PARC : 827 DWELLINGS
OPAC DU CALVADOS
1988
Initial context


before demolition

Built in the 1960's and located at the entrance to the city of Caen in Normandy, this district is the oldest and the most rejected in the new town.

Our aims

It was necessary to rediscover singular areas containing " a purpose " in an area that has been stunted by its uniformity. Although there were low financial means, we focused our efforts on the buildings that defined important areas.



  
Project

Large prefabricated concrete balconies have been constructed in front of the three buildings that border the major public spaces of the area. Private gardens protect the apartments on the ground floor and accompany the exterior tread lengths that leads to the main entrance hall.
