Habitat for young adults in Flers
The wooded countryside landscape is characterised by an unusual division of the land. The surfaces of each plot of land, resulting from agricultural use, define a measurement unit of the area. This project allows us to reinterpret this agrarian unit in volume. The site of the Flers project is a firmly enclosed area. The site must be cleared by creating a space that crosses it and by giving it dynamic elements on the neighbourhood scale (A crèche, a community centre, a play area…), which will anchor the project locally. These neighbourhood elements will be partly left to the initiative of the local residents and authorities. We have preferred a habitat of individual and intermediary types. This redevelopment project contains a total of 45 apartments distributed over a habitable area of 1716m2. The height is limited to two floors. Associated by groups of six to ten, these apartments include planted areas, and are organised around collective green spaces so that each architectural unit is complemented by a unit of landscape.
