97 Apartments Location
Our collective housing project 97 Apartments at Les Ardillos is located in the transitional zone between Mérignac’s city center and the ring road. The building’s design prioritizes efficiency and practicality by being compact, which minimizes heat loss and maximizes the utilization of available space. All residential units are built within spacious parallelepiped forms. The project’s strategic positioning within an evolving site makes it an ideal location

Design Concept Of 97 Apartments
The external envelope of 97 Apartments project has a cohesive design that emphasizes the concept of a unified structure that includes all the residential units. The façade is made of corrugated metal cladding in a dark hue, creating a consistent and monolithic aesthetic across the dwellings. To further enhance this cohesive appearance, the blinds and window frames are designed to match the same style. In contrast, the balconies and walkways are intentionally made of different materials, creating a distinct visual contrast within the overall composition. © Ivan Mathie
The undulating patterns produced by the different level offsets are expressed with a mineral-like quality, resembling a sculpted ribbon. These elements, such as the perimeter railings of the balconies and external walkways, are made of white concrete, which enhances their visual impact and adds a sleek and contemporary touch to the overall design.
