The development is in La Confluence, a previously industrial area of the French city where the Rh\u00f4ne and Sa\u00f4ne rivers converge, and is part of a masterplan by Herzog & de Meuron. David Chipperfield Architects (DCA) was appointed to coordinate three blocks consisting of 11 buildings, creating a mixed-use quarter with a focus on social and environmental sustainability. Other buildings in the scheme are designed by Atelier VERA & Associ\u00e9s Architectes and Aires Mateus e Associados.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This role entailed adapting the wider masterplan to the specific site and proposed programme as well as developing strategies for the landscape and the general massing, organisation and fa\u00e7ade design of the buildings.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The buildings contain a range of housing tenures, offices and a health centre. While there is an architecturally coherence to the whole ensemble, each building is designed to be individual in character. Within each block, the buildings are grouped to define garden courtyards. Transparent and permeable ground floors allow permeability between the garden courts and the street, which together with communal spaces and retail units, help animate the surrounding public spaces.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As well as coordinating this quarter, DCA was appointed to design three individual buildings, one within each of the blocks. These include a social housing building, a mixed-use tower and an office building. All three are shaped by their structure and defined by simple rectilinear forms, tailored to their specific locations.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Architect\u2019s view<\/h3>\n

The social housing building is made from cross-laminated timber wrapped externally in a precast concrete fa\u00e7ade of alternating bands of profiled and smooth panels.<\/p>\n

Deep recesses in two of its fa\u00e7ades create loggias for the apartments facing a public square to the south and the garden to the east. The entrance hall provides a link from street to garden while a caf\u00e9 opens towards the public square.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The mixed-use tower contains offices on the lower floors and apartments above. Together with a second tower by Aires Mateus it creates an entrance gesture for the new quarter. In reaction to its dense context, the building has large windows at its corners on the office levels with corresponding balconies in the apartments, offering views over the city and river. The in-situ concrete fa\u00e7ade with its continuous board-marked texture emphasises the sculptural quality of the building.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The office building is prominently located on the riverfront and is designed for flexibility and a potential future conversion into apartments, ensuring the long- term sustainability of the building. Balconies run along the two principal fa\u00e7ades, facing the river and garden respectively. These are articulated by in-situ concrete columns that stand proud of a recessed timber fa\u00e7ade. A central hall links to an open staircase, expressed in the west fa\u00e7ade, that connects the building to the garden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
