THANKS TO THIS KALEIDOSCOPIC
EFFECT, EVEN THE APARTMENTS
ON THE LOWER FLOORS DIRECTLY
OVERLOOKING THE COURTYARD
RECEIVE PIECES OF SKY AND SUNLIGHT
A DESIRABLE FUTURE FOR EVERYONE
For a century, the construction of social housing was frozen in its
aesthetics: HLMs were to resemble HLMs. This is not Alain Sarfati’s
conception. Housing is a natural part of the city, without having
to decline its titles or financing terms. The architectural approach
is essential when it comes to projecting yourself into a desirable
future, to create a tailor-made apartment, tailored to each family.
The building on rue Schoelcher is an opportunity for Alain Sarfati
to strongly mark his positions: “I have always wanted a democratic,
i. e. urban architecture in the sense that it is part of the common
good. I have always wanted it to be social, that is, attentive to
differences, and I have always wanted it to be poetic, that is, to
meet an expectation other than technical.
