Favourite Urban Housings

At the end of the year, we present three urban housings that have convinced our editorial team in every respect.

Unité(s) Social Housing Project in Dijon

For a social housing project in north Dijon, the architect Sophie Delhay devised an ingenious building block system based on a quadratic grid, her main consideration being to provide the occupants neutral, identically-sized rooms without pre-assigned functions. As the basic module the architect chose a square room with 3,60 m sides, 13 m² of floor space and capable of being furnished for all conceivable room purposes.

La Borda in Barcelona by Lacol

La Borda by Lacol is Barcelona’s first cooperative housing building. Since residents moved into the 28 apartments in 2018, the building has won many international awards, including the Emerging Architect distinction of the Mies van der Rohe Award 2022.

The Jaurès Petit Apartment House by archi5

Large European cities occasionally have the potential for internal urban development. In Paris’ 19th arrondissement, directly kitty-corner to the south entrance to the Parc de la Villette, an eight-storey parkade stood until recently in the block core on Avenue Jean-Jaurès. The architects from Encore Heureux have transformed the southern half of the parkade into 75 affordable condominiums for first-time buyers (logements d’accension).
