The Vaillant-Couturier project was developed for a dense urban context in Vitry-sur-Seine, on the outskirts of Paris, with the aim of creating a residential building integrated into the existing urban fabric and adapted to a contemporary residential scale.
The intervention is based on a rectangular plot with a vacant pre-existing structure, seen as an opportunity to reorganise the space and introduce continuity along the urban frontage.
The proposal seeks to align with the surrounding building heights and rhythm, ensuring integration within the overall context, while introducing a permeable access system at ground level that creates a pause and improves urban flow.
The building was designed to respond to the housing demand of small families, with functional and well-organised apartments that ensure comfort and efficiency in use.
At the top, a communal garden was created, providing a shared outdoor space and enhancing the quality of life for users.
The choice of materials, concrete, stone, and metal, follows the logic of the surrounding urban environment, ensuring durability and aesthetic coherence while allowing the building to integrate naturally into its context.
The result is a residential project that balances urban integration, functionality, and quality of use, with a pragmatic and execution-oriented approach.
