LE GRAND QUEVILLY, ENTREE DE VILLE : 524 DWELLINGS
VILLE DU GRAND QUEVILLY

Initial context


before demolition

Le Grand Quevilly is located at the entrance to the city of Rouen's recently new suburb. This very large housing estate comprises 10 000 dwellings.


Our aims   Project

The mayor wished to mark the entrance of this suburb by an architectural renewal.

 

Based on brick columns, a pedestrian space was created around a semicircular portico. Incorporating a half organic with a half mineral space, pedestrians are invited to the heart of the district. The original facades were renewed and pyramidal roof structures were constructed on the elevator machinery.
